“We wanted to make sure that the old fans of the franchise are comfortable with the story, but also the new generations [of fans are also comfortable],” said Jose Manuel Camacho, lead producer at developer Terrera Studios.
The video played during the livestream shows players controlling Dal and Gwyn in a top-down, twin-stick-style game. While the game’s trailer seemingly featured Brett Gray, Ella Purnell, and Kate Mulgrew reprising their roles from the series, it’s unclear currently if the other voice actors from the show are in this game.
The game, which can be played solo or in co-op, is being developed for PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Steam, and Stadia.
