Imp of the Sun Launch Date Window Reveal

Fans of Ori and The Blind Forest should keep a new 2D platformer on their radar. Called Imp of the Sun this title will focus on 2D exploration of a Peruvian-inspired world and is set for an early 2022 release.

Players will play as Nin, an imp created from the final spark of the Sun seeking to end the Eternal Eclipse. 

?       End the Eternal Eclipse - Stolen by the Four Keepers centuries ago and hidden in the distant corners of the empire, life cannot go on without the sun’s power. With its dying spark the sun creates Nin, sending him on an adventure to bring back the light and restore balance to the empire.

 

?       Use Your Inner Fire - As a creature of the sun, you have the power of the sun at your fingertips. Refine your skills in streamlined gameplay built for fluid movement and combo-based combat, and discover new abilities to become more powerful as you venture across the sun’s empire to defeat the Four Keepers.

 

?       A Stunning Peruvian-Inspired World - Discover the four corners of the empire, from the bright peaks of the Andean mountains and dense Amazonian jungles, to dry, blistering deserts and the dark depths of the underworld. Every land and creature is lovingly hand-drawn and crafted with detail, celebrating the civilizations that once roamed and ruled Peru.

 

?       Explore, Collect and Learn - Our ancestors recorded their history through artifacts known as ‘quipus’. Collect quipus to unveil the story behind the Eternal Eclipse, and find unique hidden items based on real relics from the Andean cultures. Explore the sun’s empire and defeat unique, punishing bosses in any order you choose, each with their own complex mechanics and backstory.
