Darlings, the gardening gloves are coming off—literally—on October 29 when Planted! drops its seeds of chaos across PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC via Steam. Curveball Games and Cloth Cat Games are serving up a hybrid harvest sim meets arena brawler where up to four players sow, grow, and hurl produce at goals and each other, complete with fertilizer boosts, crop theft, weed bombs, spud turrets, and eight twisty biomes. Local couch co-op, online cross-play, a single-player campaign in the cutthroat competitive gardening world, and physical editions for PS5 and Switch round out the package.

The Welsh indie duo has been cultivating this passion project for five years, and a recent demo showed off the core loop of claiming patches, managing resources, and launching veggies in chaotic free-for-alls or team modes—think Overcooked energy but with actual plants as projectiles. Developer quotes from the reveal highlight the Bomberman and Gang Beasts vibes they wanted, and community peeks at trailers already have folks joking about "ranked gardening" and vegetable-throwing without legal consequences.

Physical pre-orders are live at select retailers, and the dev team just dropped a fresh release-date trailer teasing more character personalities and hazards. Whether you're a solo allotment warrior or plotting couch co-op betrayal, this one promises to make "only thyme will tell" the most dangerous pun in gaming right now.
