Owlboy dev reveals new game Vikings On Trampolines

Vikings On Trampolines

Owlboy developer D-Pad Studio have announced their next game, Vikings On Trampolines, and it’s yet another pixelated adventure.

The new arcade-y game will feature up to four player cooperative adventures, battling, and naturally boss battles. There will be an adventure mode you can take on solo or co-op, versus mode, and more unconfirmed modes to unlock.


D-Pad is infamous for being perfectionists and not releasing games until they feel ready, with Owlboy starting development in 2007 but not releasing finally until 2016. Vikings On Trampolines has been in development in 2011ish, so with the full reveal at Gamescom 2022 it can’t be that far away.

Vikings On Trampolines is set for a release on Windows PC (via Steam) and D-Pad Studio also plans on releasing it for consoles.

Here’s the first trailer, via IGN:
