Planet of Lana 2 Launches Across Platforms With Day-One Xbox Game Pass

Early reviews highlight lush art, a stirring score, and deeper companion-driven puzzles, with several outlets noting a short runtime.

Overview

  • Wishfully’s sequel released March 5 on PC, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox Series X|S, and is available today on Xbox Game Pass.
  • Critics report generally positive reception, citing aggregate scores in the low‑80s on Metacritic and around the high‑70s on OpenCritic at launch.
  • The sequel broadens mechanics with new movement for Lana (dash, slide, wall‑jump, swimming) and new powers for Mui that let players control wildlife to solve larger, multi‑stage puzzles.
  • Reviews praise the hand‑painted visuals and Takeshi Furukawa’s orchestral score, noting cinematic pacing and expressive, mostly wordless storytelling.
  • Playtime estimates range roughly from three hours to about six–eight, and some critiques mention occasional trial‑and‑error sequences and finicky controls; Switch owners get a free Switch 2 upgrade with reported 1080p/60fps performance.
