This Way Madness Lies Launching on PS5 Later This Month

Zeboyd Digital Entertainment announced that its PlayStation 5 version of This Way Madness Lies will release on September 12, 2023. The PlayStation 5 release joins its original 2022 PC release and July’s Nintendo Switch launch. Both the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch are planned to receive physical editions from Limited Run Games at a later date.

This Way Madness Lies is a turn-based RPG blending Shakespeare and magical girls that follows the Stratford-Upon-Avon High Drama Society. Its members attend school and put on plays for the community while also working as magical girls. The group — Imogen, Paulina, Viola, Rosalind, Miranda, Beatrice, and Kate — teleport to alternate worlds based on Shakespeare’s plays to save them from the forces of Nightmare. The game originally released for PC in 2022 and won RPGamer’s 2022 Michael A. Cunningham Memorial Award.
