A lot of exciting projects were announced last night at The Game Awards, but surprisingly, perhaps the most visually striking of the bunch didn’t come from a big developer or publisher. Season is a new exploration game from small Montreal-based developer Scavengers Studio, and the game looks absolutely gorgeous. Check out a trailer for the game, below.
Not bad, eh? Scavengers describes Season as “atmospheric adventure bicycle road trip game,” in which players set out on a quest to record various details of their semi-grounded fantasy world (think Studio Ghibli rather than Tolkien) before it’s all destroyed in a mysterious apocalypse. Most people would get a lifetime to explore the world, but our protagonist only gets a season, hence the game’s title. So, yes, it’s a walking (or rather, biking) simulator, but it’s a damn beautiful one. Unsurprisingly, Season creative director Kevin Sullivan is excited to be working on the game.
Here’s what Scavengers CEO Amélie Lamarche had to say about the game…
Season is “coming soon” to PC (via Steam) and PlayStation. The debut trailer only lists the PS5, but a PS4 version may also be on the way (it’s not entirely clear at this juncture). What do you think? Excited to tune up your bike and do some exploring?
