“Almost two years ago, we announced Hob as our next game,” commented CEO Marsh Lefler. “This is an exciting milestone for both ourselves as developers and for our fans. We want to thank everyone for patiently waiting for the release date. We know it will be worth the wait.”

Runic Games also released a brand-new gameplay trailer today, and a redesign of hobgame.com, featuring a mini-game with unlockable content, mirroring the puzzle-solving featured in Hob.

Game Informer calls Hob, “…a believable, breathing place of mystery,” and PC Gamer wrote, “Hob proves Runic can do puzzles and atmosphere just as well as dungeon crawling.”
