Due to release in early 2022, Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles from Wired Productions and Luminawesome Games will introduce us to the most unlikely of heroes – Lumote; a super cute, super squishy, bioluminescent creature.
Announced with a brand-new and rather beautiful trailer, Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles is a new 3D puzzle platformer that will be released on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC in early 2022.
It’s a game which originally came about as a project to support Luminawesome in releasing a final version of the early access PC game, simply called Lumote; a game that has now expanded to not only finish the critically acclaimed release, but also deliver additional story, create a whole new game world and add a new level of challenges, puzzles and collectibles.
Whilst a digital launch is in hand, Wired Productions (they previously behind the likes of Martha is Dead and The Falconeer) is also pleased to announce a limited physical release for the title. This will become available via the Wired Productions Store and select retailers, with each limited release copy of Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 including a double sided folded poster, reverse inlay, a unique set of stickers featuring the bioluminescent hero, plus a digital download for the Lumote EP. Oh, and you’ll also get full instructions on how to crochet your very own Lumote. I mean, what more do you want?!
“Michelle Rocha, Kyle Rocha, Arn and Paul Ruskay from Luminawesome are potentially some of the most passionate and creative developers I’ve worked with.” Said Neil Broadhead, Head of Marketing at Wired Productions. “For Wired to be able to support the team in releasing a project they first started on in 2015 is something we are greatly enjoying, and with the further development to create The Mastermote Chronicles alongside the physical release, we truly feel we have a great edition that celebrates what Luminawesome have achieved.”
But what is Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles? Will it’s a game which sends players to the underwater-like neon world of The Great Depths filled with all sorts of shapes, colours and underwater inhabitants while exploring as the squishy hero, Lumote. Lumote must possess, jump, and think its way through a world of puzzles. To aid in the quest, Lumote’s ability to possess Motes will help reach areas not normally accessible. For every puzzle Lumote completes opening flower gates, it is one step closer to finding Mastermote!
Give the trailer a watch and then hold tight as Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles launches in early 2022 on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC. If you’re interested in the physical release then it’ll be available on PlayStation 4 for €19.99 / $19.99 / £15.99 and Nintendo Switch €29.99 / $29.99 /£24.99.
