Hindsightthe narrative game on the poignant story of a woman who will relive her past through contact with everyday objects, was dated August 4, 2022 on Switch, PC via Steam and iOS.
On the announcement side, we were able to discover Bounty Star: The Morose Tale of Graveyard Clemsign DINOGODa 3D action game very different from the catalog ofAnnapurna Interactive. It will arrive in 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One and PC, and in the Game Pass.
Bounty Star is an over-the-shoulder 3D action game that mixes mech combat, customization, resource gathering and base building. You play as Clem, a broken but powerful ex-soldier, talented veteran warrior and expert in piloting mecha. Clem attempts to shake off a sinful past and become a force for good in the Red Expanse, a post-post-apocalyptic version of the American Southwest.
Customizable mecha action
You pilot the Desert Raptor MKII, an extraordinarily powerful mech. It is a fully customizable combat vehicle that can be equipped with a range of attack systems: heavy and heavily fueled melee weapons, vapo-hydraulic siege weapons, explosive firearms and more. It can also be equipped with a variety of defensive systems: high-speed thrusters, acceleration turbos, combat shields, among others.
Repair and upgrade your mount
Clem gains access to an isolated and dilapidated garage which serves as his operational base and — incidentally — as his home. Build your water and power systems, grow food and cook, produce your own ammunition and fuel for your battles, and raise livestock. This old ruin conceals wonders, but it will have to be improved at the same time as Clem.
We were also able to meet flocka cooperative game of collecting flying creatures, created by Hollow Ponds and Richard Hogg, the creators of Hohokum exactly. It will also land on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One and PC, and in the Game Passat an unknown date.
Flock is a cooperative multiplayer game where players take on the role of flying shepherds, each tending to their own flock of adorable flying creatures.
The game is an ode to the joy of flying and the joys of discovery. Starting with a small herd of hovering sheep, you breed them and fly them to green, wild pastures. Along the way, you’ll uncover the secrets of the beautiful upper lands and their fierce creatures.
These strange flying creatures… are they fish? Birds ? Snakes ? It’s a real mystery. But, in general, they are friendly and, with a minimum of skill, you will charm them to convince them to join your herd.
Your herd grows and your sheep always produce more wool. You can then use the mowing product to make hats, vests and even socks!
Can you find all the creatures? Including the rarest and most elusive? Will you keep them to yourself or share them with your friends? Will you knit the longest scarf ever? Will you find the legendary Golden Bewl?
Finally, the last concrete “revelation” was The Lost Wilda first person survival game with dinosaurs, developed by Great Ape Games and for an arrival in 2024 on PC. The project had already been formalized in the past, but its first trailer confirms that it will be published by Annapurna Interactive.
The Lost Wild is an immersive, cinematic dinosaur game that captures the reverence and terror of nature’s most magnificent animals. Come and face dinosaurs that behave like real animals and not like monsters.
Explore a wild prehistoric land, in which you are simply at the center of the food chain. Stay lucid, vigilant and escape. If unsuccessful, flee or intimidate predators using non-lethal weapons in intense gameplay reminiscent of a game of cat and mouse.
EXPLORE
Discover abandoned settlements in the heart of a lush environment teeming with prehistoric life. Scavenge for useful items to increase your chances of surviving, while facing ever-increasing dangers as you explore. Uncover the mystery that lies at the heart of the island.
ESCAPE
Move stealthily to avoid predators chasing you. Distract and take advantage of your surroundings. Use the items you find to gain more options in your encounters. Outsmart the enemy’s plans, be cunning, run, and if you fail, hide.
BULLY
Stand your ground and don’t let the enemy sense your fear. You can temporarily scare away these deadly predators using fire and non-lethal weapons. In The Lost Wild, the dinosaurs are curious and adaptable by nature, but they can back off when startled or intimidated. Take a close look at their behavior and you might find out how to defeat them.
THE STORY
You are stuck in a primitive and violent universe. To survive you will have to master the rhythms and anticipate the dangers that are there. On the radio, a mysterious voice seems to offer a glimmer of hope. With his help, progress through the complex and pick up the pieces of history to understand what happened.
Finally, several partnerships with studios have been formalized, without the projects being named. Annapurna Interactive will work with Keita Takahashi (Katamari Damacy) on a necessarily strange title, with Cardboard Computer (Kentucky Route Zero) on a “tragedy” in gameplay faster and more fun, with Yarn Owl on a first adventure game inspired by the Zeldawith Dreamfeel (If Found…) on a new original title and with third-shift on Forever Ago. Well, okay, this one has a title and was even entitled to a teaserbut the partnership with HAVE was made official by a featurettelike the previous ones.
That’s it, so you know everything about the present and the future ofAnnapurna Interactivestill one of the most interesting editors on the market.
