Overview
- DreadXP and developer Vincent Adinolfi confirmed this week that Heartworm will release digitally for PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo platforms on October 1, 2026.
- The game first appeared on Steam in 2025 and earned a “Very Positive” player rating before the console ports were announced.
- Heartworm blends 1990s survival‑horror design with modern options by offering fixed and over‑the‑shoulder cameras, optional tank controls, and a camera-as-weapon mechanic.
- Playtime is compact at four to six hours and the title includes pre‑rendered and in‑game cutscenes plus multiple endings to encourage replay.
- The console launch follows a broader indie trend of recreating low‑fidelity PS1 aesthetics and could expand the game’s audience ahead of Halloween while exact store pages and platform pricing remain unlisted.
