Although the likes of Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Horizon: Forbidden West made huge splashes at Sony's PlayStation 5 showcase, one of the more peculiar titles that got a lot of attention was Young Horses' Bugsnax. The new game by the developers of Octodad became something of a meme in the hours following the showcase, with its strange food-based gimmick and crazy visuals instantly drawing a huge number of fans.
Of course, a major reason the game sunk into the minds of the thousands watching was its catchy theme tune, with the song encapsulating everything that made the upcoming release so charming. It seems those who fell in love with the song are in luck, with Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest recently premiering a live performance from the band behind the theme, Kero Kero Bonito.
While on the stream, the British group gave fans their first full listen of the Bugsnax theme, with fun transitions and a colorful overlay. It seems that's not all though. Those who want to get their hands on the song can now go buy or listen to it on a number of major digital streaming services and music platforms, such as Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and iTunes. In short, fans will be able to listen to their favorite song about half-bug, half-snack creatures wherever and whenever they chose.
Yet, for fans who want even more Bugsnax in their life, Young Horses and Kero Kero Bonito are partnering up with iam8bit to deliver a vinyl release of the hit theme song. However, this is far from an average vinyl. Not only does the actual record itself replicate the look of a strawberry, but the sleeve it comes in is scratch and sniff, which is seemingly par for the course for a game as eccentrically charming as Bugsnax. Those looking to get their hands on a vinyl copy of the theme tune can do so on iam8bit's website, where it retails for $11.99. You can find the vinyl here.
As for those who can't remember the upcoming PlayStation console exclusive, Bugsnax sees players travel to a colorful island filled with half-bug, half-snack creatures. Although it's unclear exactly what the core gameplay of the title entails, it seems players can transform parts of their body into certain snacks by eating the island's inhabitants, with the result likely allowing them to solve puzzles. The game will release later this year on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and The Epic Games Store.
Bugsnax will be available later this year for PC, PS4, and PS5.
