During Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase last November, publisher Thunderful and indie developer Wishfully announced that they would be bringing the cinematic puzzle adventure Planet of Lana to the Nintendo Switch this spring.
In an update this week, it is now confirmed that the title will be released for Switch and PlayStation on April 16, 2024.
You can watch the rather moving announcement trailer above. The game features stunning visuals and a “stirring soundtrack” by DICE and BAFTA nominated composer, Takeshi Furukawa (The last guardian).
In Planet of Lana, you’ll take control of Lana, who can issue commands to a “cat-like friend” named Mui to overcome all kinds of platforming challenges, puzzles, and enemies that take the form of spider-like robots.
“Lana’s world is turned upside down when mysterious alien orbs appear in the sky and robots begin capturing villagers for an unknown purpose. It’s up to you to discover where they came from and what it all means as you progress through your adventure. All Lana knows is that she must save her sister.
“Through dense jungles, sunlit meadows, arid deserts and the cold steel of alien architecture, Planet Lana provides players with beautiful natural landscapes in a spectacular adventure that combines the epic scale of the events that threaten Lana’s entire world with the story of the touching personal relationship built between the game’s two protagonists.”
