The news of the release was first mentioned via the official PlayStation Blog as posted by "Moss" developer Polyarc.

"We've been looking forward to the day we'd finally be able to get the full game in your hands and I'm happy to announce that we now concretely know when that day will be," reads the post written by Polyarc co-founder Tam Armstrong. "Next Tuesday, February 27, 2018, you'll be able to enter the world of Moss through PlayStation VR and join Quill on her incredible journey."

He also mentions that they have been quite victorious in making their game a success. As for what players can expect, Armstrong mentions that the game will be very much immersive and interactive. "Moss" simply wants to make their players be best friends with Quill who has learned sign language to communicate.

Those who want to have a better idea of how the game works, Polyarc was able to a share a solid 15-minute gameplay footage of the game. While there are some combat scenes, there are a lot of other interactions with the environment itself.
