Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf is a cinematic puzzle adventure framed by an epic sci-fi saga that stretches across centuries and galaxies.
As greed and power divide the tribes of their home planet, Lana and her little companion, Mui, must stand together against the forces reshaping their world – struggling not just for survival, but for the soul of their home. Perfect for new players and returning fans, Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf features unique companion gameplay, clever puzzling, challenging action sequences and stealth, all set in a stunning and captivating world.
This anticipated sequel almost doubles the size of the first game, taking us to never before seen areas of the planet Novo on a journey that will see you conquer snowy mountains, dive into dangerous waters, encounter majestic creatures and meet friendly forest communities and more. Planet of Lana II builds on the original title in every way, offering deeper exploration, a wider array of collaborative physics-based puzzles, spectacular new creatures, thrilling action sequences, new factions and a more expansive story that remains rooted in Lana and Mui’s evolving bond.
