From the co-creator of Celeste comes City of None, a metroidvania about a wooden adventurer in a dying metropolis

Celeste remains 1 of my favourite platformers, truthful of people I'm ever funny astir immoderate developer Extremely OK Games mightiness enactment out. And portion the afloat workplace itself seemingly isn't acceptable to uncover what's next, astatine slightest 1 halfway dev is. EXOK Games (as they're besides known) announced contiguous that they'll beryllium publishing City of None, a metroidvania with immoderate lush pixel creation by Celeste co-creator Noel Berry, alongside his member Liam.

"A metropolis crumbles into ruin arsenic almighty barons fulfill their greed upon souls mislaid successful time," explains EXOK of the Berry brothers' caller game. "You are but 1 spirit, with a woody assemblage near to rot successful the wild…" While details are slim implicit connected the Steam page, you bash look acceptable to research this dilapidated metropolis that is "filled with unusual spirits, wicked beasts, ferocious robots, and much than 1 friend."

According to Liam's idiosyncratic website, he's doing the sound, with Noel focusing connected programming, and the brace of them carrying retired design, narrative, and creation together. I can't talk to the plan oregon narrative, though the question and combat looks snappy and playful - 1 GIF connected the game's Steam leafage sees the protagonist jumping retired the mode of a sword thrust, lone to onshore connected the leaf and stab backmost successful kind.

The creation is the main standout here. It's evidently not 1-bit, fixed that there's a (lovely subdued) usage of colour, but it decidedly leans successful that absorption each the same. Even conscionable from a tiny uncover there's a bully consciousness of spot emanating from the mysterious-looking environments. I'm surely keen to person a wander, and to find retired what benignant of abilities you tin prime up too. Above each else, it's conscionable bully to spot thing from EXOK aft Earthblade was cancelled past year.

No merchandise day attached to this 1 different than sometime successful 2027, but you tin wishlist it connected Steam present successful the meantime.
