'Space Tail: Every Journey Leads Home' Gets Free Homecoming DLC, PlayStation and Xbox Release Next Week - Screens & Trailer

Space Tail: Every Journey Leads Home is a 2.5D platformer we follow the story of a dog named Bea, who has been sent into space.

Space Tail: Every Journey Leads Home is a story about self-discovery and our understanding of the world around us. Players join Bea on her epic adventures, meeting friendly (and not so friendly!) creatures from outer space.

Space Tail: Every Journey Leads Home will appeal to fans of titles such as Ori and the Blind Forest, Inside, Limbo, and Journey. The game is inspired by real-world events, from when people began investing in space exploration. Many intrepid animals paved our way to the stars – and saw up close what people would encounter years later. In Space Tail: Every Journey Leads Home, Bea is the only animal to survive the journey…

Space Tail: Every Journey Leads Home is going to be a game for everyone – young or old, it will test your skills in logical thinking and creativity; however, these puzzles won’t distract from the story. The narrative is vitally important to the experience and has been created in cooperation with Łukasz Palkowski, award-winning polish director and screenwriter. Bea’s adventures will also be accompanied by a soundtrack from two, critically acclaimed polish composers, Jan Sanejko and Bartosz Chajdecki.


Adorable Bea goes into space once more! Her cosmic adventure is not over yet and soon more players will get to know her stunning story. Everything thanks to the release on Xbox and PlayStation.

Moreover, the expansion Space Tail: Homecoming brings additional content and completely new stories. Bea will visit the place where comets are born and the factory where Artificial Intelligence constructs its machines. These two new locations are full of secrets waiting to be discovered. During her missions, our brave dog will make new friends with some unusual creatures.

Moreover, thanks to that extension Bea will get more cool outfits to wear during her adventures.

Space Tail: Every Journey Leads Home and Space Tail: Homecoming are coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on March 9th.

Free DLC is also available for those who own the Nintendo Switch version. The game and the extension are available on PC through Steam and GOG.


Gameplay in Space Tail: Every Journey Leads Home is based on three mechanics: senses, relationships, and companions.

  • Senses - Bea is not a superdog. She doesn’t have any superhuman – or to be precise: superdog – powers. Just like any other dog, she can only rely on her senses: smell, sight, and hearing. These are the basics of “detective mode”, which will help her reach destinations and protect her from danger. In the unknown environments she can only rely on her instinct.
  • Companions – While traveling across different worlds, Bea will befriend two entities: Comet Rose and the robot 8088Y. They will accompany her through most of the game, helping her solve puzzles and protect her – they will also influence the game’s ending. Each companion has unique abilities, which the player will have to use at the right moments throughout the game.
  • Relationships – During her journey Bea will meet many extra-terrestrials. Some of them will be friendly, others will treat Bea as a threat. Players can interact with the creatures and communicate through the dialog system. This is based on the behavior of dogs - to create a bond, find a common language and help each other. However, you need to take care because every action will have consequences.
  • Diverse and complex biomes and puzzles – our space explorer enters a truly uncharted territory. With each visited planet, players will encounter new flora, fauna and alien technology, traverse maze-like environments and solve tricky puzzles to progress further.
  • A tribute to the first astronauts – real-life dog astronauts and cosmonauts didn’t have a happy life and many were lost so mankind could reach the stars. Space Tail wants to show an optimistic and heartwarming tale of a dog that returned from its journey and make players consider how much we owe to our four-legged friends.

Currently available for PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch, Space Tail: Every Journey Leads Home is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on March 9, 2023.
