Cozy Co-Op Horror Haunted Paws Locks In May 2027 Release Window Across Consoles

Indie development studio LazyFlock has officially announced that Haunted Paws, its cozy co-op horror adventure starring custom canine protagonists, will launch globally in May 2027. The title is scheduled to arrive across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Blending spooky haunted mansion exploration with heart-warming cooperative mechanics, Haunted Paws tasks two players with creating their own puppies to embark on a rescue mission to save their human owner from supernatural forces.

What Is the Story and Premise of Haunted Paws?

In Haunted Paws, the comforting world of domestic pets collides with gothic horror tropes when a human owner gets trapped within a sinister, shifting mansion.

Players take on the role of two brave puppies venturing through eerie corridors, dark attics, and overgrown estate grounds. To navigate the mansion safely, partners must combine their unique canine senses: sniffing out hidden clues, digging up keys in garden soil, and working together to operate environmental levers that unlock new sections of the estate.

What Are the Key Co-Op Features and Customization Options?

LazyFlock has designed Haunted Paws to provide an accessible yet suspenseful experience suitable for local pairs and online partners alike.

• Comprehensive Character Customization: Players can build their ideal puppy from scratch, choosing distinct dog breeds, adjusting ear shapes, styling fur patterns, and equipping cosmetic accessories like hats, collars, or even a kitten costume disguise.
• Friend’s Pass Co-Op Access: Online multiplayer includes a free Friend’s Pass system on Steam and consoles, allowing a second player to join the full campaign session without purchasing an additional copy of the game.
• Tactical Puppy Combat: When confronting shadowy monsters and supernatural bosses, combat relies on cooperative tactics, such as one player barking to draw enemy attention while the other retrieves defensive items.

Co-op gamers and dog lovers can add Haunted Paws to their Steam Wishlist today or try out the playable demo available across digital platforms prior to its May 2027 debut.
