Discover the Serene and Deadly Beauty of all Seasons

LONDON (June 28, 2022) – SQUARE ENIX® today announced a brand-new life simulation RPG, HARVESTELLA™, which is coming to Nintendo Switch™ and STEAM® on November 4, 2022, featuring concept art by Isamu Kamikokuryo (FINAL FANTASY® XII) and music by Go Shiina (Tales series). In HARVESTELLA, players will experience a beautiful world that changes with the flow of the seasons and enjoy a variety of gameplay including tending to crops, befriending townspeople and adventuring into challenging dungeons.

To watch the HARVESTELLAAnnouncement Trailer,

HARVESTELLA is set in a vibrant and colourful world where four giant crystals called “Seaslight” create a stable change between the four seasons. The adventure begins as abnormalities in the Seaslight begin to appear, creating the “Quietus,” a season of death that takes place between the naturally occurring four seasons. During the Quietus the crops wither and people cannot venture outside, and troublingly, these seasons are mysteriously growing longer with each year.

In this life simulation RPG, players will grow and tend to crops, use ingredients to cook and craft items, and venture into the overworld, which vibrantly changes based on the season, to visit different towns, interact with townsfolk, go fishing and more. Players can select from various Jobs, such as Fighter, Shadow Walker, and Mage, and venture into dungeons with their party to discover the origins of the world as well as the truth behind the calamity along the way.

A physical edition for Nintendo Switch will also be available. The game is currently available for digital pre-order via STEAM. Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch version will begin at a later time. For more information, visit: https://www.harvestella.com

FRISCO, Texas (June 28, 2022) – Blanc, an artistic cooperative adventure game offering a breathtaking hand-drawn experience, was unveiled today by Gearbox Publishing and Casus Ludi. Players will be drawn into an endearing, artistic cooperative adventure that follows the journey of a stranded wolf cub and a fawn as they overcome the odds to find their families.

Breathtaking hand-crafted art 

Immerse yourself in the beautiful black-and-white world – completely hand-drawn before coming to life in 3D. Blanc focuses on the journey and experience while tugging at the hearts of players. A soothing soundscape supports the game’s text-free gameplay and storytelling. 

Find your way home  

Each animal has its own complementary strengths that will help you navigate the serene, snowy landscapes. Using only two buttons and movement, this simple gameplay allows anyone to play and follow their journey home. 

Cooperative experience 

Two players take control of either the wolf cub or the fawn. Guide them through the environment, unforgiving weather, and obstacles that you must face together. Build a relationship together locally on the same screen or from far away with online play. 

“At Casus Ludi, we’ve been crafting game-related experiences for years to foster conversation and understanding on topics and concepts with a social dimension,” said Florent De Grissac founder and game designer at Casus Ludi. “Blanc is a passion project for us, and it is our first video game title.
