Summary

  • Crunching Koalas and John Pywell said FOUNTAINS will launch on PS5, Xbox Series and Switch in 2026 alongside a new DLC release.
  • The Soulslike action RPG first arrived on PC via Steam on Dec. 20, 2024, making the 2026 plan an expanded platform push rather than a new game reveal.
  • FOUNTAINS centers on demanding but adjustable combat in a seamless, maze-like world, mixing Soulslike battles with Metroidvania-style exploration and unlockable abilities.
