Big Walk

Big Walk is an upcoming cooperative online adventure game developed by House House, the Melbourne-based studio behind the beloved Untitled Goose Game. Described by its creators as a "cooperative online walker-talker," the game invites players to find their friends and lose themselves in a vast, open world filled with puzzles, discoveries, and opportunities for relaxed social interaction.

Core Concept and Gameplay

At its heart, Big Walk is about teamwork, communication, and the simple joy of exploring a beautiful environment with friends. Players set out together through a wide-open bushland world, navigating challenges and solving environmental puzzles that require creative collaboration. The game supports flexible player counts, accommodating as few as two players for a focused co-op experience or as many as twelve for a more chaotic adventure.

What sets Big Walk apart is its innovative approach to communication. The game features a sophisticated proximity voice chat system that makes voices fade across distances, echo through corridors, muffle behind walls, and crackle through walkie-talkies. In certain areas, players may find themselves suddenly speechless, forcing them to devise alternative ways to communicate using gestures, miming, singing, or transmitting codes.

Tools and Social Features

The game provides an assortment of tools and toys to enhance both puzzle-solving and social interaction. These include walkie-talkies, laser pointers, binoculars, megaphones, flares, whiteboards, cowbells, and even a mysterious big golden head. Just like in real life, these items can be lost or broken, adding an element of unpredictability to the experience.

Beyond solving puzzles, Big Walk encourages players to simply hang out and enjoy each other's company. Players can sit together and watch the sunset, kick their friend's binoculars into the ocean, or gather around a campfire for quiet contemplation. The game features a day-night cycle and hand-crafted environments designed to create memorable moments of both adventure and relaxation.

Release and Platforms

Big Walk is scheduled for release on August 4, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Windows (via Steam and Epic Games Store), and macOS. The game supports crossplay, allowing friends on different platforms to adventure together seamlessly.

Developed by House House and published by Panic, Big Walk represents a significant evolution from the studio's previous work, transforming a casual stroll through dreamy landscapes into a uniquely collaborative experience where communication and creativity take center stage.
