Forgotton Anne Coming this May
London, UK - April 12th, in the year of our Lord
2018: Square Enix Collective™ can now announce 2D
cinematic adventure Forgotton Anne will launch on PlayStation®4
computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices
including the Xbox One X and PC on May 15th 2018. Forgotton Anne
is a dazzling, story-driven, hand-crafted 2D cinematic adventure
focused on the mysterious Forgotten Lands: the hidden dimension
where all mislaid items from the human world - the odd socks,
the lost letters, the missing toys - all linger.
With the help of the Forgotlings - creatures formed out of all
of these missing items - the trapped Anne and Master Bonku begin
a quest to find their way home. It’s a story full of emotion,
and one layered with a combination of light 2D puzzle
platforming and dialogue choices.
“As anyone who was able to catch Forgotton Anne throughout 2017
will know, this is one of the best, most striking looking games
we’ve ever put out,” offers Phil Elliott, Director Indie
Publishing at Square Enix West. “This isn’t just an adventure
that looks like an anime, it’s anime in full, fluid motion. We
simply cannot wait to get this beauty into the hands of gamers -
it’s a story as delicate and engaging as the world it plays out
in.”
“It’s been a genuine pleasure to watch gamers and critics alike
tuck into Forgotton Anne’s early builds over the last 12 months,
but now’s when things get really exciting,” offered Alfred
Nguyen, Creative Director and Co-founder of ThroughLine Games.
“We think we’ve created a world that both pays homage to some of
the biggest anime films but also takes the art form in a
different direction, giving players the chance to live out an
animated adventure for real.”
Forgotton Anne will launch on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC on
May 15th 2018 on Steam for £15.49/$19.99/€19.99, on Xbox One for
£15.99/$19.99/€19.99, and PlayStation 4 for
£16.00/$19.99/€19.99. This game is developed by ThroughLine
Games.
