We have additional details about Neva, an upcoming game from Nomada Studios, which gained recognition for GRIS, an independent game released in 2018 known for its captivating universe and hypnotic design. The announcement of Neva over a year ago was significant, and it has now been confirmed that the title will be released this year on October 15th, available for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. Initially, support for older console generations was anticipated but later removed from the release plan. Heavily influenced by Studio Ghibli’s aesthetics and storytelling, Neva narrates the profound connection between a young woman and a magnificent wolf in a deteriorating world. Following a traumatic encounter with dark forces, Alba forms a bond with a playful and curious fawn. Together, they face perilous adventures filled with dangers, encounters, and challenges that aid the animal’s growth. Exploring this cursed, nearly extinguished universe will facilitate the development of their relationship.
The developers are transparent about the color: Neva was built on the foundations of GRIS, meaning players can expect gameplay that is quite similar, but it should also offer some evolutions, including light and intuitive combat mechanics where Alba controls her sword and companion against hordes of monstrous creatures.
