Developer EggNut and publisher Raw Fury have revealed that Backbone, the post-noir narrative detective adventure released to critical acclaim on PC earlier this year, will receive its much-anticipated console release on October 28th when it arrives on Xbox and Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation.
In Backbone, players become raccoon private eye Howard Lotor as he explores a dystopian Vancouver inhabited by animals, uncovering a deeply personal story of change and transformation. Now even more players around the world can take part in exploring this rich world and its characters.

After years of small-time cases, lonely evenings, and just barely scraping by, Howard Lotor is swept into a job quite unlike any other before it. What starts as a menial case slowly unravels into something much darker, pitting Howard against the oppressive, systemic power hierarchies of the City itself.
Features include:
- Become a raccoon as you explore the seedy underbelly of Vancouver inhabited by anthropomorphic animals.
- Make meaningful connections with a diverse cast of characters in pursuit of truth in an increasingly tangled mystery.
- Modern dystopia tells a tale of a cold and existentialist world, bleak and dreary, but not entirely without hope.
- High-res 2.5D pixel art creates a breathtaking landscape to explore alongside 3D effects like dynamic lighting, pouring rain, volumetric fog and neon lights.
- Original doom jazz soundtrack adds to the cinematic ambience and tells a story with every sound.
To celebrate the witching season, the Steam version of Backbone will also be on sale for 25% off on Steam from October 28th to November 1st.
