Project Songbird is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam, with FYRE Games self‑publishing the PC release and Dojo System handling the console ports. (gamespress.com) The project is largely a solo effort by Conner Rush and has been in development for roughly five years; Rush has described it as one of his most personal works. (gamingboulevard.com) Steam’s store listing credits a three‑member lead cast—Valerie Rose Lohman, Jonah Scott and Aleks Le—among a broader “stellar voice cast.” (store.steampowered.com) Press materials and reviews name Jacob Noska and Jonah Henthorne (members of Auric Echoes) as the composers, and multiple previews single out the game’s environmental audio and field‑recorder mechanics as central design pillars. (gematsu.com) Early critical response skews positive: OpenCritic aggregates a Top Critic average around the high 70s and lists several strong reviews, including a 9.5/10 from PlayStation Universe. (opencritic.com) Pre‑release traction includes a Steam wishlist milestone of over 25,000 and a new trailer that debuted at GDC’s Future Games Show; Steam and press notes also describe a focused four‑to‑five hour runtime and a toggled permadeath option.
