Space: the final frontier. The starry expanse is set to be the backdro🅠p for a handful of upcoming games this year, including Section 9 Interactive’s "sci-fi acti𒊎on adventure title for PC and the next-generation consoles."
Section 9 is a newly-established studio based in Malmö, Sweden, housing developers who previously worked on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Little Nightmares 2 and its predecessor. The team also worked on LittleBigPlanet for the PS Vita, lending its tragically cute designs to their new project. It’s a particular style that draws a comparison to the styles of film director Tim Burton, which has even stretched to the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:loveable platformer Limbo. While no release date has been given to the unti♋tled project, the𝓰 developer has shared a handful of insightful gifs to pique curiosity.
Posting on the studio’s Twitter page, Section 9 has been sharing compelling footage since the project’s announcement in November. By shౠowing off the game’s equipment - including a grappling hook - firearms, loot, and sci-fi setting, we have slowly been able to piece together the fascinating project’s aesthetic. The most recent po💧st revealed one of the game’s “powerful enemies," which reminds us of ReCore’s robot dog Mack - except he’s not such a good boy in Section 9’s vision. The enemy can be seen shooting a laser beam at the protagonist - which seems to be a fair match for the game’s dodge mechanic.
We don’t know much about the🍎 game’s premise, but we do see it as a Little Nightmares mashup with Ridley Scott’s Alien. The cold colors of space are very apparent in Section 9’s project, where the game’s interior shadows cause a vignette to form around gameplay - adding an air of claustrophobia conveyed brilliantly by Scott in the movie franchise’s first entry. In addition, most of the gameplay looks isometric, as the space-suited character navigates an industrial enclosure to find loot and clear the path of enemies.
Preceding the release of this intriguing new game will be the debut of Little Nightmares 2 on February 11. The puzzle-platformer received a new trailer during Gamescon last year - 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:announcing its release date - and continued our intr⛄oduction to Mono - the precious protagonist who wears a bag over his head with🤡 a cape on his back.
