Enchanting indie title Seasons After Fall has a console release date - or at least, a release window. The 2D platformer from French developer Swing Swing Submarine will hit Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in early 2017.
In our five-star review of Seasons After Fall, we said:
“ Its enchanting artwork feels like an award-winning picture book brought to breathing life. Its soundtrack, done entirely by a string quartet, is stirringly lovely. The voice acting is top-tier, from a young girl’s wheedling coax and petulant fear to a gentle old bear’s confusion and urgency. And its gameplay is simple, just platforms and puzzles. Seasons After Fall doesn’t need to be a complicated game when playing it is such a peaceful, beautiful experience.”
Seasons After Fall puts you in the role of a wild fox with the Power of Seasons: the ability to open new pathways throughout a primeval Forest depending on which season you call upon. Winter may freeze a waterfall, while Spring rain may cause water levels to rise. Fall makes the wind blow, and Summer makes buds unfurl. You’re in search of Four Guardians who each possess a fragment of the Seasons, and it’s up to you to restore order in a Forest where not everything is as it seems.
You might want to compare Seasons After Fall on console to Jotun: Valhalla Edition on console (our review here) for an idea of what a similarly atmospheric indie PC game ported to consoles can feel like.
Seasons After Fall released on PC on Sept. 2. Are you looking forward to its early 2017 release date on Xbox One and PS4? Excited for the indie console library to be expanding? Feel free to talk about Seasons After Fall on console and PC in our comments section below.
