The Kickstarter-backed game Rad Rodgers now officially has a release date, and it will be hitting the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One next month on February 21.

Rad is a rambunctious but spirited young boy who maybe plays too many video games. After dozing off at the tail end of a long night of gaming, Rad awakens to find his dusty old console has turned itself back on. Suddenly a vortex emerges and he’s sucked into his TV, where he finds himself the star in his very own video game adventure.
Rad Rodgers will launch for the PlayStation 4 on February 21.
