A new trailer has been shared announcing Party Animals for the PlayStation 5. The announcement trailer shared by developer Recreate Games and publisher Source Technology is relatively short but sticks to the game's humorous theming. Party Animals' mascot character Nico is shown dragging a PlayStation 5 across a stage before setting it down and presenting it to the viewer. After resting for a moment, two DualSense controllers are tossed in, smacking Nico in the face . This short skit leans into the tendency for Party Animals to use slapstick humor, giving newcomers a strong sense of what may await them on the PS5.

Party Animals Drops PS5 Trailer

The Party Animals PS5 announcement trailer doesn't give an explicit release date or window, instead stating that the game is coming soon. Since a PlayStation listing for Party Animals was already created by July 2024, and it's been present on Xbox Series consoles for some time, it's likely that finishing another console version of Party Animals won't take particularly long. The use of the phrase "coming soon" along with press for the title's PS5 release indicates that it may simply be a matter of months, although it's noted that the final content and release dates for the game are subject to change.

PlayStation 5 gamers have voiced excitement to see Party Animals joining their libraries, and some have expressed hopes for it to be added to PlayStation Plus. Since Party Animals was a day-one Game Pass release that eventually left the service, it could make sense for the game to be added as one of the various monthly PlayStation Plus releases, continuing a pattern where members of a paid tier have a window of time to enjoy it for free. It's also possible that Party Animals will receive plenty of attention on its own once it's added to PlayStation.
