The story so far
What we know about Out of Words
Out of Words is a two-player co-op platform adventure from the Danish studios Kong Orange and WiredFly, published by Epic Games Publishing. Players control Kurt and Karla in the world of Vokabulantis, in a story built around the first time they held hands. The official site stresses cooperation, communication and perfect timing, with physics-based puzzles and stunts to get through together.
Everything in the game is described as crafted by hand, with stop-motion visuals as its signature look. It supports both online cross-platform play and local couch co-op. The game was revealed at Summer Game Fest on 8 June 2025.
It was originally aimed at 2026, but in late May 2026 the developers said it needs a little more time and will arrive in early 2027. No exact release date has been announced by the developers; some listings show 31 March 2027, which should be treated as unconfirmed until they say so.
