CULVER CITY, Calif., June 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Snail, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAL) (“Snail Games” or the “Company”), a leading global independent developer and publisher of interactive digital entertainment, celebrates the launch of Bellwright on PlayStation and Xbox, extending one of the Company's most successful recent titles to a broader audience and advancing its strategy of growing franchise reach through multi-platform distribution.
Bellwright is now available on PlayStation and Xbox, providing console players access to the open-world kingdom-building survival RPG that has already established a strong following on Steam.
Since its Early Access launch on Steam, Bellwright has achieved:
- Over 1 million lifetime units sold
- Over 46.4 million playtime hours
- 'Very Positive' Steam rating based on over 18,000 user reviews globally.
Bellwright has been specifically optimized for consoles, with enhancements designed for large screen play and streamlined controls tailored to console audiences. The release broadens the game's accessibility and positions the title to reach a wider segment of players beyond the PC market. As Snail Games continues to invest in both emerging and established franchises, the Company remains focused on expanding audience reach through platform growth, community engagement, and strategic content initiatives.
Bellwright’s console launch follows a strong weekend for Snail Games at IGN Live 2026. The Company showcased both Bellwright and the ARK franchise to thousands of attendees, media outlets, content creators, and industry partners. Bellwright was featured through developer interviews and a branded experiential activation that included a themed axe-throwing booth inspired by the game's medieval setting. The title's development team engaged directly with attendees to discuss the game's evolution, future roadmap, and debuted a new trailer for the upcoming console release.
Alongside Bellwright, Studio Wildcard's co-founder and ARK franchise co-creative director Jeremy Stieglitz took the stage at IGN Live to unveil a teaser for ARK Maker, a creation tool designed to expand community-generated content opportunities within the ARK ecosystem. Stieglitz also shared new details about ARK: The Animated Series, highlighting the continued expansion of the ARK universe ahead of Part 2's return to Paramount+. With momentum continuing across the franchise, fans can stay tuned for even more ARK news later this month as Tides of Fortune and Genesis Ascended Part One prepare to launch.
Snail Games’ presence at IGN Live reflects its strategy to leverage major industry events to increase franchise awareness, strengthen community engagement, and support upcoming product launches across its portfolio.
