Prison of Husks verschijnt op 27 januari 2027 voor PS5 en pc

• The game launches on January 27, 2027 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.
• Steam now has an updated PC demo with the first level, a boss fight, and improvements to combat, visuals, items, enemies, and tutorials.

What happened

Prison of Husks now has a release date: the game is scheduled for January 27, 2027. The announcement lists a release for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, giving the soulslike action-RPG from Glass Head Dolls and WINGS a concrete launch date. In the available coverage, PlayStation is also mentioned in the announcement itself, but the confirmed platforms in the text are PS5 and PC via Steam.

At the same time, an updated PC demo is now available on Steam. According to the store page, the demo includes the game’s first level and a boss fight. The description also says the demo has been revised from an earlier version, with improvements to combat, visuals, items, enemies, and tutorials. The Steam listing also notes that the demo does not yet include everything that will be in the full game, indicating that this is a trial version of the PC release.

Prison of Husks is described as a soulslike with parries, pistols, and compact level design. The game takes place in a “painted afterlife,” and the official trailer also describes it as a nostalgic souls-like in which players awaken as a doll and search for their loved one. The key new information, however, is the combination of a fixed release date and a refreshed demo on Steam.

Background

Glass Head Dolls is developing Prison of Husks, with WINGS serving as publisher. The announcement also mentions PlayStation, but the available information does not confirm that the game is only coming to PS5, since the release is also announced for PC via Steam. The current information therefore points to a two-platform release, not a PS5-only launch.

The Steam demo adds more context about the game’s structure. It says players can try different weapons, including parries and pistols, and that the level design is built around compact areas with shortcuts that loop back into one another. The updated demo is meant to be a new version of the earlier PC demo, and the store page explicitly says the improvements were made compared with that previous version. The listed changes focus on combat, visuals, items, enemies, and tutorials, showing that the demo is not only adding content but also refining the experience.

The official gameplay trailer and Steam page together paint a clear picture of the game. Prison of Husks is presented as a nostalgic souls-like with a dark atmosphere, a compact world, and a focus on experimenting with gear. The combination of a concrete release date, a playable demo, and multiple official Steam listings makes the game much more defined than in earlier trailers alone.
