Publisher Panic and the developers behind Arco released a first look at their upcoming tactical ARPG during Panic Games Showcase. Set to launch on PC in 2024, Arco promises a story-driven adventure through landscapes inspired by magical realism.

The goal is to bring Arco's world to life through intricate pixel art and immersive music. To achieve this, the team includes talent from around the world. Pixel art by Franek Nowotniak (Poland), music by José Ramón "Bibiki" García (Spain), game development by Max Cahill (Australia), and industry veteran Antonio "Fáyer" Uribe (Mexico)

Arco is a journey of four unlikely heroes who seeks revenge against the Red Company gang, whose rapid expansion has disrupted their lives. Players will explore diverse communities and wilderness and fight in turn-base battles.

Making the little guy run on the screen was a dream come true, said Franek Nowotniak, Arco's game lead.

Key features include:

  • A strategic combat system that requires careful planning and execution
  • Players can unlock new skills, allies, and resources as they progress.
  • Multiple POVs that let you play through the eyes of different characters, each with their own abilities.
  • A beautiful pixel art world and music

    • Arco joins Panic's growing roster of story-driven indie titles like Fire Tonight and Untitled Goose Game.

    Arco is schedule to release on PC sometime in 2024.
