We’re just a week into 2018 but already we have a reason to look forward an entire year. The Forbidden Arts is an action adventure platformer and it’ll be dropping on Xbox One in 2019. Yes, 2019!
The Forbidden Arts from Stingbot Games is due to release on PC in Early Access form from the 7th Feb 2018, bringing the tale of Phoenix as he seeks the counsel of a druid to make sense of his visions. This vision sees an epic journey begin, taking us from Phoenix’s humble beginnings to leading a powerful party on a mission to save the world of Chora from the blight of a powerful necromancer.
As Phoenix, you will embark on quests, get the chance to solve puzzles, discover long-forgotten secrets, and to the fight to enemies in an adventure full of ancient magic. By controlling the power of fire within, Phoenix will discover new ways to take down enemies and bosses, as well as understand his inner flame.
The Forbidden Arts promises to be full of action, suspense, comedy and unexpected twists and turns, taking place in a magical realm combining both western and eastern culture. Stingbot have promised that it will be brought to life with a colourful art style and acoustic guitar soundtrack.
“The Forbidden Arts is, at its heart, a tale of a young man trying to find himself,” says Sterling Selover, founder and visionary, Stingbot Games. “Through overcoming physical and mental challenges with the help of his companions, Phoenix will learn of the true power within.”
That all sounds great to us and even though 2019 is a long old while away, it does at least give us something to look forward to. The Forbidden Arts will enter Steam Early Access on Feb. 7, 2018 for $9.99 (although as content is added, the price will increase), whilst the full release will arrive in early 2019 on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PS4, as it releases from Early Access.
