If you loved Untitled Goose Game and assumed House House's next thing would be another solo chaos toy, recalibrate. Big Walk is a co-op "walker-talker" that ships August 4, 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Steam (Windows and Mac). Panic publishes. The useful question is not whether it "feels like Zelda." It is whether your friend group will actually schedule hiking, getting lost, and solving puzzles with no map hand-holding.
Start here if / skip if
| Start here if | Skip if |
|---|---|
| You have at least one reliable co-op partner | You only want solo play |
| You like proximity chat, shared confusion, and discovery | You need waypoints, quest markers, and a filled-in map |
| $20 (or PS Plus on PS5) fits a short-session hangout game | You want a combat-forward open world |
| Crossplay matters (Steam / Switch 2 / PS5 mix) | You need Xbox (not announced) |
Steam's own line is still the cleanest thesis:
Hang out and get lost with close friends in a big world. A cooperative online walker-talker from the creators of Untitled Goose Game.
