Darkwood is a top-down survival horror video game developed by Acid Wizard Studio. The game officially launched on Steam back in 2017 and has gained positive reception from both critics and audience. Now the game is headed to consoles as the Darkwood Release Date for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch has been announced.
Darkwood Release Date
The announcement trailer will be available at 7:30 a.m. PT / 10:30 a.m. ET
