Presented by DON’T NOD last December for the Game Awards, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage this time took advantage of the IGN x ID@Xbox Digital Showcase to reveal itself a little more. A new trailer whose images take us directly to the 90s.
With his old camcorder, Swann Holloway, who turns out to be the main character of the narrative adventure, gives us a little overview of Velvet Cove. A fictional town in Michigan where the summer of 1995 seems to be synonymous with skateboarding with friends, flirting and sunsets on the river. An insight which above all reflects Swann’s introverted personality and his passion for capturing moments of life.
But it is during this summer that everything will change for the young girl. She will then meet a circle of friends made up of three other young ladies. Nora, the rebellious soul of the group who is full of energy, Autumn, the leader of the group as thoughtful as she is charismatic and finally Kat, always determined and pragmatic. In this summer of 1995, these 4 very different personalities will come together around secrets which will bind as much as they will break their group.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage should be released by the end of 2024 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. An outing which should however be done in two parts, one month apart. The purpose of this imposed break is to allow players to discuss the game and share their theories on the rest of the story. It remains to be seen whether this will frustrate players, or just push them to reach another month before trying their hand at the title.
