Raise and bond with a magic wolf cub, and then get your heart shattered
The next project from Gris’ developer Nomada Studio has been revealed: Neva. The game is similar in theme to Gris, focusing on artistic, ethereal puzzle-platforming to help tell a deeply emotional narrative. In the case of Neva that revolves around the bond between a young woman and the wolf cub she befriends, and the adventures they take on in a dying world as the cub grows and matures.
And, as seen in the trailer, eventually dies.
Prepare to get unconditionally wrecked. Gris did a wonderful job of captivating us with its mix of visuals and storytelling, emphasizing graphic design and illustration and a soundtrack to tie it all together. Nomada is aiming to do the same with Neva, featuring minimal UI elements and gorgeous artwork.
The game is expected to launch in 2024 for Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
