The upcoming satirical epic, The Last Hero of Nostalgaia, will be hitting consoles and PC this October. Independent game publisher Coatsink and developer Over the Moon confirmed that the Souls-like title would be coming to Steam on October 19. A joint press statement announced that it would be available for the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.
The RPG title drew inspiration from Dark Souls and the Stanley Parable. The creators said it would be a twisted, humorous take on the Souls-like genre.
"The Last Hero of Nostalgaia is very much a love-letter to the Souls series. But it's still very much a game that I've tried to take in its own direction," said Jon Warner, CEO of Over the Moon.
Over the Moon is the team behind several popular titles, such as The Fall and The Fall Part 2: Unbound.
Players will be slashing through Nostalgaia, the video game world, amid a pixel blight and in the shoes of the "most hideous pixelated hero." And to top off the doom-and-gloom experience, the creators added a cynical narrator. His role is to mock gamers' attempts to "save the world from a blight of pixelation."
"Players are going to discover a game layered with interesting narrative elements, and plays with the balance between humour and darkness," Warner said.
The Last Hero of Nostalgaia will also support single-player and multi-coop options, the creators added. A demo is currently available on Steam.
UK-based Coatsink is the publisher of several notable titles, including Get Packed, Onward, Cake Bash, Transformers: Battlegrounds, PHOGS!, and Jurassic World: Aftermath.
