Award winning adventure Owlboy soars onto Xbox One today

-

Owlboy has already released to high praise on PC, but now it’s soaring onto the Xbox One with its heartfelt story about an underdog owl.

Developed by D-Pad Studio, the intriguing indie platforming adventure of Owlboy brings a vibrant pixel art style full of detail. It follows the story of a misfit owl named Otus who’s struggling to cope with the owl way of life. After Otus’ lovely homeland is invaded by a horde of mean sky pirates, he embarks on a fascinating journey which takes him through seemingly endless skies and the monster infested ruins. To reach safety and survive all foes, he must recruit friends to utilise their special skills – you can switch between them at any time. Expect to face epic boss battles and to explore huge dungeons along the way.

Those looking to swoop down and grab Owlboy on Xbox One need to fly over to the Microsoft Store, where it’s priced at £19.99. Should you be quick off the mark then you’ll find a little launch discount brings that down to £15.99. It’s won awards so is probably worth a look, but if you’re unsure about making a purchase, then hang fire for our review and have a read of that first.

Been gaming casually since the SNES as a youngster but found my true passion for games on the Playstation 1 (the forbidden word ooo). My addiction grew to its pinnacle with the purchase of an Xbox 360 & Xbox Live Service. A recovering GS hunter that will still play literally any game.
