Hot on the heels of their Gamescom 2023 lineup, publisher Headup Games and developer Sunny Peak have announced Symphonia, a new sidescrolling platformer.
Symphonia is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) and unannounced consoles, with a release set for early 2024.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
In the realm of Symphonia, music acts as a source of life and energy. But since the founders and their orchestra vanished the inhabitants are divided, and the world slowly falls into silence. What if there was a way to gather a new orchestra? That’s the question Philemon, the mysterious musician in Symphonia, will have to answer.
Embody a Mysterious Violinist
Embody a mysterious violinist, brought back to life in a declining world. Your violin and bow are both your instrument and a means of transport.

Discover a Musical World
