It turns out the game Sony Santa Monica was teasing is a new game by Plastic Studios, the team behind experimental PlayStation 3 titles Linger in Shadows and Datura.
The game is known simply as Bound, and it’s a 3D platformer set for PlayStation 4. Featured above, you can view the game’s debut trailer.
“Bound is designed for people with the desire to concentrate on the narrative side of games and experience a mature story,” game director Michal Staniszewski said on the PlayStation Blog. “On the other side of the spectrum, Bound is also being prepared for hardcore gamers looking for the challenge of one big puzzle that can be only solved by a community of players working together.”
Plastic is saying the game is both a traditional game, and a “notgame.” It’s up to you how you play the game, ultimately.
A release date for Bound was not confirmed.
