![]() ![]() Now with this, as well as the upcoming release of Cult of the Lamb, these absolute freaks are unstoppable. My friends and enemies, I am very excited for The Plucky Squire. It’s typical of Devolver Digital to take on games with this much potential, I think we all remember just how incredible Death’s Door was. Jump between 2D and 3D worlds in this charming action-adventure – solving puzzles, boxing badgers, flying with a jetpack, and enjoying many more delightful and surprising mini-challenges as you become the hero of a living storybook. Jot must face challenges, unlike anything he’s ever seen if he is to save his friends from Humgrump’s dark forces and restore the book’s happy ending. When the malevolent Humgrump realizes he’s the villain of the book – destined to lose his battle against the forces of good for all eternity – he kicks the heroic Jot out of its pages and changes the story forever. The Plucky Squire follows the magical adventures of Jot and his friends – storybook characters who discover a three-dimensional world outside the pages of their book. Here’s the description from the game’s Steam page: The game showcases a unique mix of 2D and 3D gameplay, with your character, the cute and courageous Jot, jumping between storybook pages and the thick, juicy world that exists beyond the book he resides in. Many more big game showcases and streams are still to come this summer, so make sure you stay up to date with our summer games stream schedule.The Plucky Squire is an action adventure title from Queensland-based studio All Possible Futures, an indie studio formed by industry veterans James Turner ( Pokémon) and Jonathan Biddle ( Sword of Ditto).Ĭheck out the trailer below, which was premiered as part of Devolver Digital’s Marketing Countdown To Marketing. Not E3 2022 is in full-swing - see everything in our E3 2022 hub, as well as our complete round-up of everything announced at Summer Game Fest 2022. Whether it will also support local or online co-op like Swords Of Ditto does remains to be seen, though.Īlas, The Plucky Squire isn't due out on Steam until 2023, but in the meantime, why not stick it on your wishlist, eh? We don't see them in the trailer, but the artwork suggests we'll get a wizard with a paintbrush (someone get Chicory on the phone), and a goblin pal who seems to be wielding a pair of drumsticks. Jot will be joined by a handful of friends on his journey, too. ![]() Something circular and conducive to side-scrolling shoot 'em up-ing anyhow. Or maybe it's this world's version of Lego. ![]() It looks like he'll be able to jump into all manner of other objects round the room, too, including a mug and what appears to be a big plastic chocolates tub. What starts out looking like a cute 2D Zelda-like set inside a children's storybook suddenly transforms into a Toy Story-esque romp where your little squire goes clambering around said child's little bedroom. Honestly, I didn't see that 2D-3D twist coming at all. There's sword-fighting, Punch-Out!!-style boxing, top-down adventuring, sides-crolling sh'umping. In fact, I reckon it might just be every single game in one, going by that trailer. Made by Jonathan Biddle of Ditto fame and former Game Freak artist James Turner (who worked on Pokemon Sword and Shield) who have banded together to form new studio All Possible Futures, The Plucky Squire is a gorgeous blend of 2D cell-shading and stunning 3D playroom environments. See what I mean in the reveal trailer below. Well, isn't this a lovely surprise? Arguably the highlight from Devolver's Countdown To Marketing stream this evening, The Plucky Squire is the next game from the creator of Swords Of Ditto - and it looks an absolute peach. ![]()
