My Time at Portia Announced
October 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2017,
UK – Award-winning international games label Team17 and China
based indie developer Pathea Games today announced their
partnership to bring My Time at Portia, Pathea’s forthcoming
engrossing 3D sandbox RPG inspired by Animal Crossing, Harvest
Moon, Dark Cloud 2 and the works of Miyazaki, to PC and
consoles.
Setting sail for Portia, a town on the edge of civilization,
you’ll arrive to find a workshop left to you by your Pa – a
place where you can begin to craft a new life, using the relics
from the past to improve life for the villagers in the town.
Gather materials from Portia’s stunning open world: cut down
trees, forage for herbs, mine in the ruins and even grow your
own garden. There are many unique areas for you to explore
including deserts, island, reefs, highlands, marshlands, mines
and more! There are even two different types of dungeons
including abandoned dungeons filled with important resources
such as relics and ores for you to harvest or more hazardous
dungeons where you’ll be able to encounter and battle monsters!
The world of Portia will feel alive as the villagers have their
own unique behaviours and will go to school, do their jobs, work
out, have fun and have their own stories to share with you.
You’ll be able to befriend and romance the villagers within
Portia.
Debbie Bestwick, MBE, CEO of Team17 said “We welcome Pathea to
the Team17 label and it’s exciting to work with a talented
studio in a region with an emerging indie development scene.
We’re thrilled to be supporting them in their development
roadmap and the bringing the game to multiple platforms in
2018.”
Zifei Wu, President at Pathea Games added “My Time at Portia is
a huge passion project for the team here at Pathea games and
we’re excited to be working closely with Team17. We’re hugely
grateful to the support and enthusiasm of the backers of our
campaign so far and the Alpha build we shared was just a very
small taste of the world we’re going to create in partnership
with Team17 in bringing My Time at Portia to PC and consoles.”
My Time at Portia is planned to head to PC via Steam Early
Access in early 2018 and will be coming to consoles later in
2018.
