Nintendo Exclusive Picross Series Comes to PS4 for the First Time This Month, Sort Of

Logiart Grimoire coming soon

Jupiter Corporation, the developer of Nintendo’s popular Picross series, is bringing its latest title to multiple platforms for the very first time, including PS4.

Historically exclusive to Nintendo hardware, the studio’s new game is Logiart Grimoire, a game featuring nonogram logic puzzles styled virtually identically to the Picross series. In fact, the Switch version of the game is named Picross: Logiart Grimoire.

If you’re unfamiliar, nonograms are puzzles in which you colour in specific cells on a grid, using numbers on each row and column to deduce which squares to mark and which to leave blank, revealing an image once solved.

Logiart Grimoire will feature many of these puzzles, and builds upon them with a narrative framework in which you must restore the titular grimoire and help its keeper, Emil, gain their magic back.

It’s not the first nonogram-based game on PlayStation, but will be the first Picross game (in all but name) to hit Sony’s systems. It launches on 24th April for $19.99.
