Press release:
Wednesday 8th April 2026, Cardiff, UK – Independent publisher Curveball Games, and developer Cloth Cat Games have today revealed Planted!, an upcoming co-op party game for 1-4 players, coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Planted! invites players to sow, grow, and throw produce at goals (and each other) in arena battles as they attempt to rack up points to reign victorious over their opponents.

Part harvest sim, part sports game, and 100% cultivated chaos, Planted! challenges players to take on their friends in arena combat where they will need to strategically plan their produce production for success. Will they utilise fertiliser to grow colossal crops for more points, will they steal their opponents offerings, or will they use powerups to propel themselves to victory? Only thyme will tell.

Planted! offers several flavours of gameplay, with players able to jump into the multiplayer both sat on the couch locally and online with their friends (or foes), crossplay between both PC and consoles, and for players wanting to pull on their wellies, grab their spade, and hit the allotment solo, Planted! also offers a carefully grown single player campaign, set in the cutthroat world of competitive gardening.

Ed Gregory, Senior Publishing Manager, Curveball Games, Said: “We are thrilled to showcase Planted! for the very first time. When Cloth Cat told us about their horticultural combat party game packed to the brim with character and playful ideas, we were sold, instantly, and we hope players are too!”

Ben Cawthorne, Creative Producer, Cloth Cat Games said: “Planted! has been a background passion project for the Cloth Cat team for the last 5 years, and we are beyond excited that the game we weren’t able to stop thinking about has now become a reality. We have lots more to dig into, but hope this first look gets players excited at the prospect of combat gardening with their friends!”
