Bugsnax turned a lot of heads when it was revealed earlier this year. After a Summer full of memes and people still humming the Bugsnax theme, the developer behind the odd title, Young Horses, has announced the game's official release date and the cast of voice actors that will be interacting with players in this bizarre world.
Today, Young Horses announced that Bugsnax will release on November 12, officially making it a launch game for the PlayStation 5. The game is also coming to the PlayStation 4 and PC on the same date. Bugsnax will cost $24.99 and players who pre-order the game through the Epic Games Store will get a 15% discount on the title. Players picking up the game on the PlayStation 5 will experience how Bugsnax utilizes the new DualSense controller, like how it uses haptic feedback to feel different types of terrain while running about the whimsical world.
Along with the release date announcement, Young Horses revealed the cast of Bugsnax which features plenty of talent from around the industry. The cast includes prominent voice actors who have played big roles in popular games such as Persona 5, Marvel's Spider-Man, Overwatch, Apex Legends, and plenty more.
Notably, the game includes Yuri Lowenthal who has recently been grouped into the Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered controversy over the recasting of Peter Parker's in-game character model. Lowenthal voices Peter Parker and to better fit the tone of Lowenthal's voice, Insomniac Games recast Spider-Man to better match Lowenthal's voice performance and facial capture.
Here's the full cast of voice actors for Bugsnax:
- Wambus Troubleham – Fred Tatasciore (Soldier 76 - Overwatch)
- Wiggle Bigglebottom – Kenna Ramsey
- Chandlo Funkbun – Yuri Lowenthal (Marvel’s Spider-Man)
- Filbo Fiddlepie – Max Mittelman (Saitama in One-Punch man)
- Gramble Gigglefunny – Sam Riegel (Duck Tales)
- Shelda Smellywag – Debra Wilson (Jedi: Fallen Order)
- Floofty Fizzlebean – Casey Mongillo (Evangelion)
- Eggabell Batternugget – Fryda Wolff (Loba in Apex Legends)
- Beffica Winklesnoot – Cassandra Lee Morris (Persona 5)
- Snorpy Fizzlebean – Roger Craig Smith (Sonic the Hedgehog)
- Cromdo Face – Rick Zieff (Terminator 3)
- Clumby Clumbernut – Barbara Goodson (Rita Repulsa)
- Elizabert Megafig- Helen Sadler (Battlefront)
- Triffany Lottablog- Haviland Stillwell (Devil May Cry 5)
Bugsnax is the latest game confirmed for the PlayStation 5's launch which is seemingly growing by the week. Along with Bugsnax, fans getting a PS5 day one can become a hero in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, fight rounds of enemies in the looter-slasher Godfall, or enjoy a long list of third-party titles coming day and date with the console. Although, the most exciting and surprising launch title may be the Demon's Souls remake, an announcement that caught plenty of fans off guard for being so soon.
The release date of Bugsnax is just the latest reminder to everyone that the PlayStation 5, and the next-generation of consoles, is just around the corner. Sony has high aspirations for its new console and PlayStation Chief Jim Ryan mentioned that he believes the PS5 will outsell the PS4 at launch. That is, assuming there are enough consoles to go around to break that number as pre-orders for the PS5 sold out within minutes and crashed tons of major retailer's websites.
Bugsnax will launch on the PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 on November 12.
