Just a few weeks ago we echoed Xbox’s bet on another indie game, in this case the promising Narita Boy. We knew that the project would be part of the Game Pass subscription service from day one, but the launch date was not yet known. It will therefore be on March 30 when Narita Boy is available on Game Pass, in addition to going on sale for Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC and Nintendo Switch.
The video game will be a classic 2D platformer and side scrolling adventure, It will play with time-jumping mechanics, RPG elements and several worlds to explore, as well as fast combat dynamics. We will control Narita Boy, a digital hero responsible for an important mission that he must complete through different dimensions. The game is clearly influenced by the eighties narrative and aesthetics – the time in which we will place ourselves at the beginning of the game – with the detail of playing on a retro television, thus playing a game within another game.
A new video game comes to Game Pass on March 30
Team 17 will be in charge of distributing the video game developed by the Spanish team called Studio Koba, who managed to carry out the project thanks to a ‘crowdfunding’ campaign in Kickstarter, platform through which they got 160,000 euros, 40,000 euros more than what Koba considered necessary to play the game. The creators consider Narita Boy a ‘retro futuristic’ adventure with which we can relive old glory days while marveling at the future.
