Big Walk's creators reflect on their six-year journey
House House developers Nico Disseldorp and Stuart Gillespie-Cook reflect on the six-year development of their upcoming co-op exploration game, Big Walk. Inspired by COVID lockdowns, the game emphasizes social interaction through proximity chat and will launch on August 4, 2026, for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, PC, and Mac. The team discusses their decision against using Early Access to maintain their creative process and how the game's unique mechanics, like muffled voice chat for puzzles, are difficult to describe but core to its appeal.
