Legend of (New) Zealand
I’ve only very recently heard of Reverie, a top down 2D action game very much in the style of old school Legend of Zelda with a visual style very closely resembling EarthBound. A bigger surprise with this title is that it was announced as coming to the PlayStation Vita of all places, and today it got a announced worldwide, and will come out early next year in Q1 2018.
A PS4 will follow soon after the Vita release, with a Switch version “likely” and that will be looked into according to the developer Rainbite on Twitter. The initial release will be digital with a limited physical release to follow.
Reverie is set on a fictional island in New Zealand, where players take on the role of Tai, who must go on an adventure to put angry spirits to rest. Checking out the new trailer below, it looks to be very much in the style old school early 16-bit Zelda with more gameplay to show off the movement and some new stuff. They’re really going into the EarthBound weirdness as inspiration with some of the enemies as well. Can’t wait to try this game out.
