No little pony or magical friendship in this emerging saga, but rather psychedelic ordeals in digital purgatories. The hallucinatory trailer does not reveal the scenario for the moment, except that we will play a soul in distress obsessed with a sacred arcade machine.
Among the unclassifiable
Inside, we find logistical puzzles, messy lines of code, boss fights against a photorealistic hand and panicked pandas. Youtuber SungWon “ProZD” Cho will play the eccentric King Yan in a handful of segments live action incongruous. He seems to play an antagonistic role. 3D phases will also be inserted between sequences in the arcade machine.
“Pony Island 2: Panda Circus is a phantasmagorical journey through time, myths, divinity and video games. Escape the divine lords of Hell by protecting your soul and your mental integrity. This game isn’t about ponies.” Daniel Mullins will have warned us. The first Pony Island was already very similar.
Pony Island 2: Panda Circus is currently planned for 2025 on PC.
