ETHERBORN Surreal, Gravity-bending, Exploration Platformer Heading to Consoles and PC July 18

First game to launch on the FoxNext (20th Century Fox) Indie Fund Coming to PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One

Barcelona, Spain – Altered Matter, has announced a final release date for Etherborn, their surreal, gravity bending, exploration platformer – Thursday, July 18th, 2019. The announcement debuted at the Kinda Funny Games Showcase held during E3. 

 

It’s been quite a journey –  With 4 years of development, multiple pre-release awards for its creative level design, unique visual aesthetics, and mind-bending gameplay, and also becoming the first game signed to the FoxNext Games Indie Fund portfolio, the developers are extremely excited and relieved to finally have the game almost out.
 

“It’s a goddamn miracle that games get done at all.” – Samuel Cohen, Altered Matter Art Director.

Check Out the Etherborn Release Date Announce Trailer:

Etherborn is an elegant leap in the gravity-puzzle genre. An environmental puzzle platformer built on exploring and understanding gravity-shifting structures in dreamlike, Escheresque levels. You play as a voiceless being, born into a mysterious world where a bodiless voice calls to you, patiently drawing you to its location. You must take this blank soul on a journey to find its own conscience. Widen the limits of your perception and find the paths that are hiding before your eyes.

Traversal is built around your unique sense of gravity that anchors you to any surface you touch.  Moving through the world becomes the puzzle in itself as each level acts as a sort of environmental Rubik’s Cube that you need to explore, manipulate and shift perspective on in order to decipher the way forward.
