'Bugsnax' (ALL) Gets Release Date, Becomes PS5 Launch Title, Introduces Voice Cast - Screens & Trailer

Bugsnax is a whimsical, narrative-driven adventure game will have you investigate the mysterious Snaktooth Island, home of the legendary half-bug half-snack creatures: the titular Bugsnax.

Bugsnax takes you on a whimsical adventure to Snaktooth Island, home of the legendary half-bug half-snack creatures, Bugsnax. Invited by intrepid explorer Elizabert Megafig, you arrive to discover your host nowhere to be found, her camp in shambles, and her followers scattered across the island alone... and hungry!

It's up to you to solve the mysteries of Snaktooth Island: What happened to Lizbert? What are Bugsnax and where do they come from? But most of all, why do they taste SO GOOD?  

The reveal trailer for Bugsnax features the voices of Max Mittelman (One Punch Man) as “Filbo Fiddlepie”, Helen Sadler as intrepid explorer “Elizabert Megafig”, Tom Taylorson (voice of Octodad) as the Snax in the trailer, and an original track titled “It’s Bugsnax!”  from British indie pop sensation Kero Kero Bonito. 

The fully voice acted game, featuring over a dozen professional voice actors, carries all of the weirdness and quirkiness that anchored Octodad’s success in 2014.


Expect performances from Max Mittelman (Saitama in One-Punch Man), Yuri Lowenthal (Insomniac’s Spider-Man), Roger Craig Smith (Sonic the Hedgehog), Debra Wilson (Cere Junda in Jedi: Fallen Order), and many more.

“It took a lot of restraint not to geek out around so many industry icons gathered into one place!” reported Kevin Zuhn, Creative Director at Young Horses. “And speaking of, we managed to put them all in a room together for some ensemble recordings (pre-pandemic, thankfully). It turns out this is pretty uncommon for games to do, especially with a cast this large. But that’s one way our naivete can be a strength, because seeing them all play off of each other’s energy was wonderful.”
