Announced at The Game Awards 2023, five months ago, Lost Records Bloom & Rage has returned to the spotlight with an unusual new trailer. This trailer revisits the principle of camcorder footage from the 1990s, resulting in video quality that is far from optimal and featuring a retro 4/3 aspect ratio display. The character Swann is prominently featured, announcing that if this video is watched, she is already dead. However, her laughter at the end leaves us slightly puzzled. In any case, Don’t Nod’s teams are clearly emphasizing this mystery, especially since the game will be split into two parts: one set in 1995 and the other in 2022. The 27 years separating these stories conceal a terrible secret reminiscent of Stephen King’s “It,” while the release of both game parts will be staggered by a month, allowing players time to speculate on what comes next.
The story of Lost Records Bloom & Rage follows a group of four friends during the summer of 1995: Swann, Nora, Autumn, and Kat. Their shared passion lies in spending time together, playing music, smoking, drinking, and avoiding life’s concerns. However, an event will forever connect them, forming the central focus of the game, which sparks intrigue. The release of Lost Records Bloom & Rage is set for late 2024 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
