If you’ve been waiting for a bit of a shake-up in the action-adventure scene, then you’re in for a real treat. All Possible Futures, together with Devolver Digital, has given us a fresh glimpse into their soon-to-be-released gem, ‘The Plucky Squire’, and it’s as exciting as a treasure chest full of loot.
In a unique twist, our adorable hero Jot is quite literally jumping off the pages, transitioning seamlessly from a 2D storybook into a 3D reality. It’s like someone took our bedtime stories, sprinkled them with magic dust, and breathed life into them. This was made incredibly apparent in the newly-released gameplay trailer, showcasing the myriad of ways to experience the game – from good old-fashioned 3D platforming to a classic bit of top-down dungeon-crawling.
‘The Plucky Squire’ sets its stage in Mojo, a vibrant realm of pure creativity, that unfortunately is at risk from a grumpy old wizard named Humpgrump. (Really, with a name like that, could he be anything other than a villain?) But fear not! Jot isn’t going on this quest alone. He’s got a jolly crew of adventurers with him, including an eccentric wizard who moonlights as a DJ. Yes, you read that right – a wizard who drops beats as well as spells. Humpgrump is about to face some serious competition.
This thrilling adventure will be accessible to a wide array of gamers, as it’s landing on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch later this year. For those eager to delve deeper into this magical world, check out pluckysquire.com for all the details.
