Numskull Games has announced that it is releasing physical versions of publisher PM Studios' Hoa and Ever Forward this year.
Skrollcat Studio's Hoa will be available for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 and 5 from 11th March 2022, priced at £34.99 / €39.99. Developed by Pathea Games, Ever Forward will be available for the same formats from 25th March 2022, priced at £34.99 / €39.99.
We gave the former 8/10 when we reviewed it last year, saying:
Young players still green to the simple story ideas and to platforming fundamentals will find absolute magic in Hoa. The orchestral score and hand-painted backdrops have the power to whisk imaginations away like nothing else. The tried-and-true design of a modern platform game, while unsurprising to seasoned players, will delight budding gamers getting to know the genre. Apart from its closing stage, Hoa is a paint-by-numbers platformer – and the painting is exceptional, even if everything stays carefully inside the lines.
Numskull has stated that it will be releasing more games in 2022, with "further titles to be announced very soon."
Will you be picking up either of these titles in physical form? Let us know with a comment.

Fancy calling yourself Numskull, I have met lots of those in my time and didn't want to buy anything from them.
Both of these games have already had US region physical releases last year.
But bringing EU region physical releases is welcome for those that didn't import.
Defo welcome the physical releases, but when games of the ilk of Disco Elysium are available for pre-order at £29.99, the price point seems a bit iffy.
Just bought it on PS4 a couple of months ago. Oh well.
Got Hoa physical (NA) and definitely worth it. It’s somewhat short but it’s a fun ass puzzle platformer with sweet visuals. And. I love supporting smaller devs.
Loved Hoa, glad it's getting a physical for those who want it
Borrowed Hoa from my library a few months ago. I found the platforming controls were too imprecise for my liking, but pushed myself to finish it.
To late the announcement, already got Hoa from NA. I'll check out Ever Forward though and see what it's about.
@RupeeClock in this case, yeah!!!
Since Brexit we are generally having it bad especially with smaller releases that can only be ordered from a specific store, because those are actuality UK-based (even bigger ones such as NISA) and some EU countries have an unforgivable import fee (I always have to pay at least 45€ of import fee on top of the price paid)
