After sending us down into a vibrant ocean with Abzu, builders Giant Squid may have us dashing and gliding via a moody forest of their subsequent game, The Pathless. It seems to be like one other joyous celebration of motion and nature, solely with a bit extra homicide aimed within the course of big beasties. I do know this comparability is overplayed however: little bit of a smack of Shadow Of The Colossus. The Pathless is due in 2019, so for now let’s benefit from the announcement trailer.
I’ve certainly loved that announcement trailer. Looks cracking.
The blurb additional explains:
“Become the Hunter, a master of archery who travels to a mystical island to dispel a curse of darkness that grips the world. Forge a connection with your eagle companion as you hunt corrupted spirits, but be careful to not become the hunted yourself. Explore misty forests full of secrets, solve puzzles in ancient ruins, and test your skill in epic battles. The bond with your eagle and the fate of the world hang in the balance.”
I’m extra apprehensive about my bond with my eagle, to be sincere. I’ll defend you, hen good friend.
The Pathless is one other game that publishers Annapurna Interactive are bringing solely to Epic’s new games store. Whether that’s unique without end or solely some time, we don’t know. Another of these Epic scloosies is former PlayStation exclusive Journey, which Giant Squid co-founder Matt Nava was truly artwork director on again within the day.
Tonight’s announcement got here in The Game Awards, the ‘Oscars but video games’ marketing-o-rama the place actually this moment was pretty cool, SonicFox is great.
