We’ve known of the weird and wonderful Grapple Dog for a good few months already, mostly as it released on PC through Steam and Nintendo Switch earlier in 2022. Now though, just as a week of Grapple Dog goodies begins to unravel, comes news that Grapple Dog will be coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S later this year, as will a physical edition.
With 2022 fast running out of weeks, we should expect to see Grapple Dog arrive on Xbox in the very near future, as the exhilarating 2D pixel-arted platformer begins to play out the madness on an all-new format.
Having picked up acclaim on Nintendo Switch and PC, with some seriously good Steam reviews in place – Grapple Dog will now let Xbox players in on the fun, as they get to experience the lighthearted adventures of Pablo for themselves. The release date is coming soon.
When it does arrive on Xbox, Grapple Dog will promise much. Six colourful worlds will be in place, and that means no less than thirty-three stages of grappling goodness will take place. There will be boss battles too, a Time Trial mode for the speedrunners, collectibles and some super smooth 60fps gameplay.
In all, key features include:
- 6 colourful worlds – Sail across the map to explore 6 worlds, featuring 33 levels filled with hidden collectibles to find, secret areas to investigate, spectacular boss battles to overcome, and bonus levels to master
- Play your way – Hone your grapple skills with optional collectibles and a testing speedrun Time Trial mode, or utilise the many in-built accessibility options to play without restrictions – have fun however you see fit
- Bold & funky – A bold, colourful art style from a pixel art veteran makes Grapple Dog pop from start to finish, with a funky fresh soundtrack that’s sure to stick in your head, and buttery smooth 60fps gameplay
There’s more though and very soon you’ll find a physical edition of Grapple Dog hitting Nintendo Switch. 5000 copies will be available, split as follows…
- 3,000 Standard Editions – Releasing with all the current content on its cart, a full-colour manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards.
- 750 SteelBook Editions – Releasing with both Standard and SteelBook editions of the game and a slipcover.
- 1,250 Collector’s Editions – Releasing with both Standard and SteelBook editions of the game, the original soundtrack CD, a sticker sheet, and a Pablo keyring.
All editions will go on sale on October 27th at 6pm BST (10am PDT/1pm EDT) – available worldwide exclusively at superraregames.com.
If you’ve never heard of Grapple Dog before then you have a few choices – hold tight for that Xbox release soon, or pop over to the stores of Nintendo Switch and the eShop or PC through Steam and enjoy the fun of the dog right now.
