Annapurna Interactive's 12 Minutes release date is coming soon, and it will be available on the Xbox Game Pass at launch.

12 Minutes Release Date: August 19, 2021

What do you get if you trap James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Defoe in a time loop? What do you get if the three voiced characters in a crime drama set in a small apartment? You get 12 Minutes – an adventure game that loops time in a crime that takes place in 12 minutes. Players get to interact with the scene and restart time, hoping to change the fates of the three people involved. 12 Minutes release date is on August 19, 2021, on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.

12 Minutes stars McAvoy, Ridley, and Defoe as the Husband, the Wife, and the Police Officer. The Police Officer raids the couple's apartment, arresting the two. The initial progression leads to the officer killing the pregnant wife and her husband, and it's up to you to find a way to change that. Will you be able to save the couple's life from doom?

Annapurna Interactive continues to give players artful games such as 12 Minutes. Revealed during the 2015 PAX East convention, developer and artist Luis Antonio had the game completed with stock artworks by then. It will take six more years and the support of Annapurna Interactive to complete the game. Alfred Hitchcock is quoted as a big influence to Antonio for this game, as well as films such as Groundhog DayMemento, and Rear Window.

If you liked The Witness, then you will also like 12 Minutes. Luis Antonio has worked on both projects, after all. While the loop takes place in mere 12 minutes, the entire game will take you some several hours to complete. 12 Minutes release date on August 19, 2021, will get people in a timeloop for a few days.
