Hello everyone! I\u2019m honored to share more on Dark Pigeon Games\u2019 new game, Awaken \u2013 Astral Blade. Tian Yuan, Producer at Dark Pigeon Games, and I will share an overview of what players can expect when playing Awaken \u2013 Astral Blade, what inspired the deeply intriguing sci-fi world it is set within, and more.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, Awaken \u2013 Astral Blade is a platform adventure that marries invigorating and challenging combat with a wondrous and fascinating biopunk setting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to create a mysterious and exhilarating fantasy world that deeply immerses the player, where they experience the growth and transformation of the protagonist while facing challenges head-on,\u201d says Tian. \u201cSo, we have drawn inspiration from many excellent films and literary works to enrich our design. For example, the fantastical mutated plants from the movie Annihilation (2018), the fusion of technology and magical elements seen in the sci-fi horror film Pandorum (2009) and neo-noir Blade Runner 2049, and the imaginative works of Neil Gaiman have all been important sources of our inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n

The game begins as you\u2019re sent out by Dr. Herveus to search for and rescue a missing Investigation team in the rainforest of Horace Islands and slowly uncover the dark, sinister mystery of what happened to the land and its inhabitants. Players will take control of Tania, one of Dr. Herveus\u2019s bioengineered creations made from unique DNA samples from the Horace Islands. To develop the best Tania, he combined data provided by Gaghti, a Bionic created during the Jacha City era and the AI leader of the indigenous people, with the DNA of Molla, an ancient warrior, and Karpas energy. This resulted in a highly intelligent and physically powerful combatant.<\/p>\n
