Whitethorn Games and Polygon Treehouse have announced that their upcoming friend-em-up adventure game, Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island has a summer 2024 release window.
Sometimes we love to play games to release some stress and click heads on Call of Duty: Warzone, and then there are days we want to chill and relax, like in Animal Crossing or Disney Dreamlight Valley. Well, a new chill game is coming to add to your lineup, Mythwrecked: Ambrosia. The publisher Whitethorn Games has been behind games like Calico, Lake, and Wytchwood, and devs Polygon Treehouse are the developers behind the BAFTA Award-nominated Röki. Both teams are excited to announce their friend-em-up adventure game should be out sometime in summer 2024.
Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island is a nice relaxing game that is more single-player social rather than violent. The artwork of the environment and the characters throughout the game are visually stunning and personable, respectively. The beach vibes and setting of the game alone, mixed with some tranquil music, is a perfect anti-anxiety time. The top-down exploration and puzzle-solving are also not too challenging but enough to add to the allure and mystery of what is happening to the island inhabitants. It has prided itself on also being very accessibility-friendly with its setting options.
“We put a lot of ourselves into our games, and Mythwrecked is very close to our hearts. We want to make sure the game lives up to its potential, and we put the best possible version of the game into the hands of players,” said Alex Kanaris-Sotiriou, Director and Lead Developer at Polygon Treehouse. It is always a treat to see developers taking the right amount of time to ensure the game will be functioning on launch as intended.
So far, the game has a playable demo that we at CGMagazine were able to check out. Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island invites players to take on the role of a marooned backpacker named Alex, who finds herself stranded on Ambrosia Island. She soon learns that the island is populated by gods and legends of Greek myth, but they are a little bit more modernized than their known folklore descriptions. Players are expected to explore and solve the mystery of the island while building relationships with the people on Ambrosia Island.
The CEO of Whitethorn Games, Dr. Matthew White, shared, “We 100% support this new extended development timeline for Mythwrecked. We value our developers and will do whatever we can to support them as they fulfill the true visions they have for their games.” If you are looking for a nice chill game to play next summer, feel free to wishlist this now on Steam to keep up to date on any further game developments.
Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island will be coming out on Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam), and consoles in the summer of 2024.
