Old School Vibes, the studio known for some charming retro-inspired titles like Magical Backpack, Sokonature and more, is back with a new adventure – Porkshire Hero.
This is a delightful 2D platformer starring Pink Pig, a brave hero on a quest to rescue the princess.
Launching today on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, the game is available in three editions: an Xbox Series X|S Optimised Edition, an Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S Edition (both priced at £4.19), and a bundle including both Xbox versions, as well as a PC version, for £10.74.
A Pink Pig’s Perilous Quest
Porkshire Hero follows the titular Pink Pig as he embarks on a daring journey to save the princess from the clutches of evil.

The game features classic platforming mechanics, requiring players to master precision jumps, tricky climbs, and strategic manoeuvres. But Pink Pig has a unique ability up his sleeve – gliding!
