The original Braid remains an awesome game even today, but I’m excited to check out the Anniversary Edition when it arrives in April. Today, Thekla Inc announced that Braid, Anniversary Edition will be arriving on consoles, PC, and mobile via Netflix Games on April 30th, 2024. The original game debuted back in 2008, and this new version includes many enhancements and new content including 15 hours of commentary. The soundtrack which is amazing, is also seeing new mixes and improvements, new hand-repainted visuals, extra animation frames, the ability to swap between the new and old visuals on the fly, and more. Watch the Braid, Anniversary Edition trailer below:
The announcement from Thekla mentions Braid, Anniversary Edition for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Netflix for mobile with macOS and Linux following at a later date. There is no mention of Switch right now, but I hope it does come there eventually. I’m also hoping it does get a physical release. I haven’t replayed Braid in many years, but loved my time with it on Xbox 360 back in the day. A price point hasn’t been announced yet for PC and consoles. On mobile, you will be able to play it free if you have an active Netflix subscription. Check out the official Braid, Anniversary Edition website here. What do you think of the new trailer and did you play Braid back in the day?
