Publisher Devolver Digital and developer Fourattic have announced their glorious 1980s tribute coming-of-age game Crossing Souls is launching early next year.
The synth-laden and chrome-filled experience will launch on February 13th of next year, for PC and PlayStation 4.
Featured above, you can view a new trailer for the game released alongside the launch date announcement.
Here’s a rundown on the game, via Devolver:
It’s 1986 in California and a group of friends will live the summer of their lives after a mysterious discovery in woods outside their quiet town. By uncovering an artifact whose powers they don’t fully understand, these remarkable kids will defy the laws of nature and somehow interact between two planes of reality: life and death. Their curiosity will trigger a series of unexpected events that will get them involved in a government conspiracy and a mysterious U.S. Army general with his own nefarious plans.
Crossing Souls is a vibrant action-adventure game about a group of neighborhood buddies that set out on a quest to save their town and our world from government conspirators and shadowy forces. Switch between these unassuming heroes on the fly to take advantage of each one’s unique attacks and abilities as you battle local authorities, evil specters, and creatures of unknown origin! Collect clues from around town and jump between two realms to solve the mysteries enveloping your quiet suburban home before all is lost!
Key Features:
- A Brave Group of Friends: Lead a group of neighborhood friends on the adventure of a lifetime and alternate between each one to take advantage of their unique attacks, abilities, and personalities to overcome any obstacle or opposition on your journey!
- Interdimensional Puzzles: Solve head scratching challenges by mixing the group’s abilities with the Duatstone to jump between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead, interacting with the inhabitants of each…both friend and foe!
- Some Small Town Excitement: Explore a small California town at the center of this epic conflict and uncover new and exciting areas as your adventure unfolds. Get lost in the woods, snoop around the local arcade, and traverse the once quiet streets of suburbia to discover the secrets that have been hidden there all along.
- A Fantastic Cast of Characters: Interact with everything from cavemen and cowboys to librarian ghosts and even dinosaurs by jumping between our world and the realm of the dead! Some hold clues while others want to end your quest where you stand!
Finally, Fourattic confirmed the game will be playable at this year’s PlayStation Experience from December 9th to the 10th, with key staff in person to talk up the inspirations for the game.
