Developer Alien Pixel Studios have announced the release date of Metroidvania Unbound: Worlds Apart.
Open magic portals to alternate realities discover what happened to the world, and how to stop the forces tearing it apart. Each portal can change the properties of the world and little mage Soli themselves. The press release (via emails) states the 10 portals can grant inverse gravity, time manipulation, super strength, and more.
You can find the release date below.
Unbound: Worlds Apart launches July 28th on Windows PC (Via Epic Games Store, GOG, and Steam), Nintendo Switch, and 2021 on PlayStation and Xbox via publisher Digerati.
You can find the rundown (via Steam) below.
Gameplay
Unbound is an atmospheric 2D Puzzle-Platformer where the main character, Soli, can conjure magic portals to travel between different realities in order to learn more about the catastrophe that ravaged his world. Inside certain portals, the physical properties of the character or world elements can change, offering new gameplay possibilities.
Unbound’s artistic approach can be summarized as a dark fairy tale presented in a cartoonish style, with the purpose to give the game experience a fresh look and feel. Curiosity and exploration will have an impact on the overall atmosphere.
Story
Unbound is set in a universe of magic and mystery, where Mages once traveled between distant worlds using portals. When an ancient sickness threatens the future of the multi-verse, a gifted child named Soli must embrace his unique gift and bring peace to the worlds apart.
