Need a new Souls-like? Coatsink and Over The Moon are looking like having your back in 2022 when they team up to launch The Last Hero of Nostalgaia.
Planned to release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC in 2022, The Last Hero of Nostalgaia from publishers Coatsink (they recently behind PHOGS! and Moonglow Bay) and the development team at Over The Moon is the Souls-like you didn’t ask.
Revealed as part of the ID@Xbox Twitch Showcase, The Last Hero of Nostalgaia is a satirical, action-adventure Souls-like, driven by a dark but hilarious story, set in an incredibly rich and complex world. Featuring hard, but fair combat that fans of the genre will relish, along with *full character customization and original narrative mechanics rich in lore.
Nostalgaia is the world of videogames, and it’s collapsing backwards into a mysterious pixelation. Everything is fading away to nothing: even the memories of our proud, cherished video games are being lost. Now, with our fidelity all but gone, at the very brink of extinction, hope emerges to fight back.
As the most hideous pixelated hero to ever spawn in Nostalgaia, you must fight through an army of it’s mindless inhabitants all while being jeered by a cynical narrator who despises your very existence.
‘The Last Hero of Nostalgaia is our love letter to Dark Souls and its community of players. We saw a lot of subtle beauty in that series and wanted to honor it, by pulling it forward and integrating it with gameplay. The result is a game with deep roots in the genre, but that also somehow manages to be entirely new. I can’t wait to share it with all of you’ – CEO Over The Moon ,Jon Warner
The Last Hero of Nostalgaia is planned for release in 2022. When it does arrive, you’ll be able to play it on Xbox Series X|S (fully next-gen optimised), Xbox One and Steam.
Kick back with the trailer for now and we’ll keep you updated as and when we can.
