Publisher Two Cakes Studio and developer Frag Lab have announced that Forest Escape: Last Train is coming to PlayStation 5. The cooperative horror adventure, currently available through Steam Early Access on PC, is expanding to Sony’s console, although the companies have not announced a PS5 release date.
The announcement on November 13, 2026, also introduced Rainbow, a new location featuring multiple stages and a dedicated boss encounter. A new trailer accompanied the reveal, showing more of the game’s surreal environments and expanding its collection of nightmare scenarios.
Rainbow introduces another challenge within the twisted world controlled by the Warden, the game’s central antagonist. According to the developers’ announcement, the location becomes progressively darker as players advance, with the Warden’s influence gradually stripping away the environment’s color and cheerful appearance.
The location culminates in a new boss encounter. However, the announcement does not provide detailed information about the boss’s mechanics, the individual stages or the specific challenges players will encounter along the way.
Forest Escape: Last Train originally launched on Steam Early Access on July 10, 2026. The game supports one to four players and combines cooperative exploration, puzzle-solving and survival horror with an unusual train-based progression system.
Players begin at an abandoned railway station surrounded by a mysterious forest. Their objective is to escape the Warden’s nightmarish world by keeping a locomotive operational while navigating dangerous environments, gathering resources and solving puzzles.
The journey takes players through a variety of surreal locations, including a labyrinth inhabited by murderous clowns, a haunted amusement park and areas featuring enormous creatures and environmental hazards. Players can tackle these challenges alone or cooperate with up to three friends.
The train serves as the central means of progression, connecting the game’s different environments while introducing obstacles that require players to stop, explore and overcome challenges before continuing their journey.
The upcoming PlayStation 5 version will bring the PC horror experience to console audiences. However, the publisher has not confirmed whether the PS5 edition will include cross-platform multiplayer, support cross-platform progression or launch alongside the game’s eventual full PC release.
The Steam Early Access description outlines plans for a full release in the first half of 2027, subject to development progress and community feedback. The developers have also identified performance improvements, bug fixes, balancing and quality-of-life updates as priorities during Early Access.
The PS5 announcement follows other recent horror releases on Sony’s platform, including Derelikt's November 13 PS5 launch, which brings a different, retro-inspired approach to the genre.
Forest Escape: Last Train remains available on PC through Steam Early Access. The PlayStation 5 release date and additional console-specific details have yet to be announced.
