Baby Steps finally has a release date, two years after it was originally slated to arrive

Baby Steps, a absurdist walking simulator, has been under construction for a long while now. But at today's PlayStation State of Play event, the game finally got a release date: September 8, 2025. The game stars the hapless, chubby, bodysuit-wearing Nate (sigh), who, judging from the release date trailer, appears to be perpetually in search of a toilet? At one point, he knocks a porta-potty off the edge of a cliff. Tragedy abounds.

We checked out Baby Steps a few years ago, and a big part of the fun is in figuring out how to control Nate — each controller trigger moves one of his limbs, and keeping him upright is apparently quite the challenge. That's part of the fun, I presume; watching your baby-man flop around the screen and fall over while doing the seemingly simple task of walking sounds a lot more amusing than I think. 

The game was originally supposed to come out for PS5 and PC in 2023, followed by a delay to 2024 that the team obviously didn't hit. But now, we've got a real release date for this exceedingly goofy-looking game.
