Former Pokemon art director, James Turner, renowned for his work on Pokemon Sword and Shield, unveiled just yesterday that he had moved on from GAME FREAK. As a result, Turner announced that he had started his own studio, All Possible Futures, with The Swords of Ditto developer, @onebitbeyond.
In the announcement, Turner teased that their first game would be revealed very soon, and he wasn’t lying. As the Devolver Digital Showcase unfolded, we got our first peek at The Plucky Squire, which will be coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch in 2023.
Admittedly, the childlike look of The Plucky Squire lost my interest at first, which is amusing considering my favourite game series is about a pink puff ball called Kirby. Yet, as soon as the trailer revealed a blend between 2D and 3D worlds, as one character popped out from the pages, I considered myself obsessed, and thought everyone else should too.
