The Missing Tail, the upcoming narrative co-op adventure from Baltic game developer Estoty, has sparked interest among players waiting to know whether the cozy cat game will arrive on PS5 .
A final release date has not been announced. The feature has become one of the game’s biggest talking points as the studio moves away from its hyper-casual mobile roots. The game follows two cats from completely different backgrounds as they navigate a medieval world filled with castles, villages and puzzles. One character is a royal cat, while the other is a stray. Players must cooperate and use each cat’s unique abilities to progress. The game currently has a Steam page available for wishlist additions. The developer is also accepting playtest sign-ups through its official website.
Estoty revealed that The Missing Tail will support a “one copy for two players” model, meaning that it will allow two people to experience the adventure without both players purchasing the game.
Its previous titles include Knife Hit, Johnny Trigger, 2048 and Jelly Shift. The studio’s mobile games have collectively crossed more than 1.5 billion downloads, according to industry reports. The biggest feature separating The Missing Tail from traditional co-op games is its shared ownership system. On Steam, the game will use Steam Remote Play Together, which allows one player to own the game while another joins remotely. The guest does not need to own a separate copy. Estoty designed the game around cooperation rather than fast reactions. Players solve environmental puzzles, move objects together, and use different abilities to overcome obstacles. The royal cat focuses on puzzle-solving and exploration, while the stray cat relies on agility and movement skills.
Remote Play Together streams the host player’s game to another user while sending the guest’s controller inputs back to the host system, according to Valve’s Steamworks documentation.
