Uncanyon Announced By Graceful Decay, Coming To PS5 2027
Annapurna Interactive and developer Graceful Decay revealed Uncanyon , a new puzzle-first adventure game, during PlayStation's September 3 State of Play .
The game is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store sometime in 2027, marking Graceful Decay's first major project since 2021's Maquette .
A World Built From Colliding Realities
Uncanyon drops players into a once-flourishing, now-forgotten world formed in the seam between what the developers call "unparallel realities." Players control Sonia, a stranger who tumbles into this fantastical land, where hills breathe, trees shift color, and the terrain itself never settles into a single stable shape. As she explores deeper, Sonia begins uncovering the world's mysteries, along with her own unlikely role as its prophesied hero.
The game's core mechanic revolves around fragmentstone, a substance found throughout the world that lets Sonia shift and bend alternate realities into the space around her. Activating a fragmentstone device transforms the immediate environment in real time, reshaping puzzles, removing hazards, shifting terrain, or revealing paths that were invisible in the previous reality.
Graceful Decay Game Director Hanford Lemoore said the concept began with the idea of entering an alternate reality without ever leaving the one already occupied, which grew into the game's full world over time.
Puzzle-Focused Ruins Across Five Regions
The journey spans five bio-diverse, semi-open regions, each built around ancient temples and ruins designed to keep intruders out. Lemoore described the design as an extension of what the studio explored in Maquette 's recursive puzzle spaces, but with more resistance built in this time, incorporating traps, locks, and puzzles left behind by whoever originally guarded these locations.
Sonia's story carries a personal dimension too, with the developers describing her journey to save the world as intertwined with the pressure of living up to a destiny she didn't choose.
Annapurna Interactive's catalog already includes distinctive, unconventional titles like Stray and Outer Wilds , and Uncanyon looks to continue that tradition when it launches sometime in 2027.
