Mind the slugs
Another World(Out of this World) hasfound its way to many platformsin the years since its original 1991 release. It’s an important game, one I hope manages to reach new audiences every time it’s re-released. Next on the list is Nintendo Switch, with a launch now set for August 10, 2025.
The Switch version is being handled by Dotemu in collaboration with The Digital Lounge andAnother World‘s creator, Eric Chahi. There isn’t a new trailer to go along with the release date announcement, but this retrospective video with Chahi from last month is worth a watch if you missed it.
The game’s art still holds up so well, as does its evocative storytelling. Fair warning for new players, though: it can be brutal! Anyone who’s playedAnother Worldwill have the progression path forever committed to memory, but if it’s your first time, expect to die a lot through trial and error.
