After four years in development, Friend & Foe announced today that brooding exploratory adventure Vane would be released later this month. A beautiful, dark art style feels reminiscent of something from Team Ico as you guide a young boy with the ability to shapeshift into a bird across a barren landscape filled with looming fortresses, ancient magic and stark deserts. To mark the release date, a new trailer has been unveiled.
The comparison to the likes of Ico shouldn't be a surprise — Friend & Foe previously worked on The Last Guardian alongside more mainstream FPS games such as Battlefield 3 and Killzone. With Vane, they are exploring a minimalistic setting which encourages exploration, and one which will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression as the credits roll.
Vane releases exclusively on PlayStation 4 on January 15th, 2019. Check back with Jump Dash Roll for our full review!
