Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

Saudi Arabia's Starvania Studio has confirmed that Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 7th, IsaKaba can reveal.

The console release marks a significant step for the underwater adventure title, which has been available on Steam since last year. 

Starvania CEO Meaad Aflah and co-founder Muslih Alzahrani previously told IsaKaba they were working toward console ports, with an Xbox release described at the time as unconfirmed. Both platforms are now locked in.

Into the deep

Published by Soft Source, Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree draws on Arab mythology, casting players as Noor in an underwater world built around the legend of Bahamut. 

The game blends exploration with drawing mechanics and was inspired by classics, including Rayman and Ecco the Dolphin.

IsaKaba reviewed the game and spoke with the Starvania team about its development shortly after it launched on PC last year.

Starvania Studio is listed in the IsaKaba Studios Directory.
