Melatonin PS5 release date: Latest news on the rhythm action game
Half Asleep's dreamy rhythm action game is headed for PS5.
If bopping along and timing button presses to perfection in rhythm action games like Hi-Fi Rush and Metal: Hellsinger is your type of thing, then the news that Melatonin will soon land on PS5 will be music to your ears.
Melatonin is developed by David Huynh, an independent Vancouver-based designer who works under the alias Half Asleep.
The game originally released on PC in 2022, before arriving on Nintendo Switch shortly after, and received positive reviews.
It boasts a poppy yet meditative soundtrack and stunning visuals that are draped in pastel colours.
There are 20 different levels that each offer a different way to play throughout the game’s five chapters. Conceptually, it is all about the merging of dreams with reality.
In a press release on 4th March 2024, Huynh said: "I’m so excited to introduce Melatonin to a whole new audience of gamers. As a huge fan of rhythm games, I truly hope that Melatonin can inspire players to try more games in the genre - and that it encourages game devs to make more of them, too."
So, how long do we have to wait before we can get jiving to Melatonin on PS5?
When is the Melatonin PS5 release date?
Melatonin will be released on PS5 on 12th March 2024. This is the confirmed release date according to the PlayStation store in the UK.
Unfortunately for PS4 owners, Melatonin is only coming to PS5, and will not be available on the last generation console.
If waiting several days is too much, then the game is still available on both PC and Nintendo Switch.
Can I pre-order Melatonin on PS5?
Melatonin is not currently available for pre-order on PS5.
However, on the PlayStation Store, you can add the game to your wishlist if you are signed in. This way you will get a notification when the game is available to purchase.
There is no confirmed cost for Melatonin on PS5 either, although on Nintendo’s online store, it costs £12.99 - so it is fair to estimate it will be around this price bracket for PlayStation.
