Smoke and Sacrifice – Release date announced!
Solar Sail Games and Curve Digital have finally announced when their new survival RPG, Smoke and Sacrifice, is being released. The game is set to release on the 31st of May 2018.
Smoke and Sacrifice is a hand-animated survival RPG where you take on the role of a young mother called Sachi. She is on a quest to try and find out what happened to her child and to achieve this she has to survive a dark fantasy world filled with eerie monstrous creatures.
“We’re thrilled to announce the release date for the PC and Nintendo Switch versions of Smoke and Sacrifice,” said Tancred Dyke-Wells, Co-Founder of Solar Sail Games. “Player feedback since we revealed the game has been wonderful, at shows such as EGX Rezzed and GDC as well as online. We’ve been hard at work making this is the most narratively ambitious survival game yet, creating a beautiful, hostile world for the player to explore alongside a deep, robust crafting system.”
The entire game world poses a threat to Sachi but it also provides her with the things she needs. There is a complex ecosystem in place that makes the world truly come to life. Creatures forage, mate and breed but also hunt to survive. Taming the wild creatures is the only thing Sachi can do to get clues for the search for her child.
“It’s been so heartening to see Smoke and Sacrifice resonate with players since its reveal in February,” said Simon Byron, Publishing Director at Curve Digital. “Neil and Tancred have crafted an emotional and engaging experience that breathes new life into survival gameplay with its deep narrative and gorgeously realized world.”
Surviving is one of the most important things but a strategy is also necessary. Players can, for example, alter behaviors of Plants and animals but this might cause a change in the ecosystem. When too many things change, Sachi might not find enough resources to craft items from.
Smoke and Sacrifice will be released on the 31st of May 2018 for the Nintendo Switch and PC. A PS4 and Xbox One edition will also be released later in the year.
