Let’s smash some news. Pile Up Box By Box has a release date! Yes, that’s right, and that release date is… read to the end so that I can trace this call.

Featured back on Gamescom 2020, the long-awaited couch co-op game is coming to the PC this month, with the console versions following in the Summer. But what is this game? I’ve never heard of it.

From HandyGames and Seed by Seed, you help the Boxlings of cardboard world, solving puzzles with friends (or those who you are contractually obliged to play with).
