Developer Tiny Wonder Studio announced koroboa sort of spiritual successor to the cult classic Chibi-Robo! series with former programmers from Skip Ltd. who work on the project.
The game follows koRobo, a small robot along with his 10-year-old owner Tom, set in the ‘urban jungle’ of New York. When Tom receives koROBO as a birthday present, he has no idea what the little robot is capable of.
You’ll soon take on the role of koROBO as you work to keep the house tidy, help Tom with his homework, and defend the family against a mysterious time-traveling enemy.
Tiny Wonder Studio is also set to launch a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the project on July 22, 2024. Speaking via a press release, director Kenichi Nishi said:
“Our goal is to create a game that everyone can enjoy, so koROBO is designed to be a fun and comfortable game that we hope everyone will fall in love with. The core of koROBO is about bringing people together and working towards a better tomorrow, and this campaign, combined with your support, is a wonderful opportunity to bring video game lovers together – something our little hero would be proud of! The future is a dream we all share! Let’s make it a reality together.”
We’ll let you know if Tiny Wonder Studio is successful with its Kickstarter campaign, as well as any development updates in the coming weeks and months.
