Publisher Coatsink and developer Bit Loom Games have delayed PHOGS! from its previously planned June release window to later in 2020 due to challenges created by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam when it launches.
PHOGS! will also take part in the Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition starting June 9 at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET, through which the PAX East 2020 demo of the game will be playable publicly for the first time. (Update: Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition has since been delayed to June 16 to 22.)
Here is an overview of the game, via Coatsink:
