Guacamelee! publisher and developer DrinkBox Studios has announced that its next game, Nobody Saves the World, has locked down its release date to January 18.
Nobody Saves the World promises a different take on the action-RPG genre. Playing as the titular Nobody, you’re tasked with stopping The Calamity and finding missing magician Nostramagus. To do so, you harness the powers of more than 15 forms, each having its own mechanics and abilities that you can mix and match into some fairly wacky builds.
These include a Horse that’s really good at archery, an Egg that leaves a trail of slime behind it and shoot fireballs, or a round robot capable of firing flurries of missiles at its opponent. Each form comes with quests that allow you to unlock new abilities and increase its power.
Aside from giving you freedom in terms of choosing your forms and build, Nobody Saves the World also lets you decide which areas of its overworld you explore.
The game’s procedurally generated dungeons increase their difficulty and complexity as you level up, while its New Game+ mode also adds remixed difficulty modifiers. You can try your hand at avoiding disaster by yourself or alongside a friend in online co-op.
Judging by its release date reveal trailer, which you’ll find embedded below, Nobody Saves the World will very likely add some of DrinkBox Studios’ trademark wackiness to what’s an otherwise tame month in terms of releases. You can pick up the game on January 18, when it arrives on PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One.
