Shoresy: Legends of the North is headed to consoles, but its announced release date is inconsistent: a ScreenRant exclusive republished by AOL says October 21, 2026, while Xbox’s US and Canadian store listings show October 19. Check the listing for your region and platform for the date currently shown. The game is already available on PC through Steam.

Console release date: October 19 or October 21?

ScreenRant’s exclusive, republished by AOL on October 5, 2026, reports that the game will arrive on PlayStation and Xbox on October 21, 2026. Xbox’s listings for both the United States and Canada instead display October 19, 2026. The sources do not resolve the two-day difference, so neither date should be treated as confirmed across platforms or regions.

Xbox identifies its product as an Xbox Series X|S listing. The announcement names PlayStation, but the reviewed coverage does not specify a PlayStation model or link to a PlayStation storefront listing. The official game page heading mentions PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch; that heading alone does not confirm a current storefront listing or release date for every platform.

For the most relevant date, check the game’s listing in your platform’s regional store. Store listings can change, and the Xbox date shown in one region should not be assumed to apply to another platform.

What kind of game is Legends of the North?

Shoresy: Legends of the North is described as a fast-paced hockey RPG set in the Shoresy universe. You create a skater, join the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs, and take on the Hockey Godz. Its two main modes offer different ways to play: a character-progression campaign and local multiplayer featuring familiar characters.

Story Mode

In Story Mode, create a character, improve stats, unlock gear, and play alongside Shoresy in a narrative campaign against the Hockey Godz. It is the mode to choose if you want a solo progression path tied to the show’s world.

Shinny Mode

Shinny Mode lets players draft familiar characters for local multiplayer. The official game page presents it as competitive play. Steam also lists shared or split-screen PvP and co-op, and notes Remote Play Together. Those are Steam-specific feature descriptions; they should not be read as a guarantee that multiplayer features match across every platform.

Where can you play, and what multiplayer features are listed?

The game launched on PC through Steam on November 22, 2025. Steam lists Treewood Games as developer and New Metric Media and Play Fun Games as publishers. The Xbox console listing is for Xbox Series X|S. A current PlayStation store listing was not established in the reviewed sources, and the official page’s Switch mention does not by itself establish Nintendo availability.

What the announcement says about the game’s appeal

Mark Montefiore, Founder and CEO of New Metric Media, said the company saw potential for Shoresy to extend beyond television, describing gaming as a natural fit given the show’s connection to hockey culture. He said the collaboration with Treewood Games was intended to give fans another way to engage with the characters and humor.

The ScreenRant/AOL report also quotes an unattributed press release describing the game as designed to be played together, with references to hockey moves and testing friends’ claims about their gaming skill. That is promotional language, rather than a guarantee of identical multiplayer options on every platform; consult each store’s feature list.

  • Player setup: Xbox lists local multiplayer for two to five players. Steam lists single-player and shared/split-screen PvP and co-op. Confirm the platform-specific details that matter for your group.
  • Preferred mode: Choose Story Mode for character creation, progression, and a campaign; choose Shinny Mode for local sessions with familiar characters.
  • Edition and format: The reviewed listings establish a digital Steam PC version and an Xbox Series X|S listing. They do not establish a physical console edition.

PC review snapshot

Steam showed 57 user reviews with 78% positive when checked on October 7, 2026. That is a small, time-sensitive storefront snapshot, not a representative survey or independent assessment of the game’s quality.
