The art direction alone is enough to convince me to play The Pathless. The creators of ABZÛ are ready to share their next adventure, a mythic adventure game about an archer and an eagle. A wooded land awaits these companions.
The story is one that intrigues me:
Become the Hunter, a master of archery who travels to a mystical island to dispel a curse of darkness that grips the world. Forge a connection with your eagle companion as you hunt corrupted spirits, but be careful not to become the hunted yourself. Explore misty forests full of secrets, solve puzzles in ancient ruins, and test your skill in epic battles. The bond with your eagle and the fate of the world hang in the balance.
When I first heard about this game last year, I thought it would only be available on Apple Arcade, but it’s launching tomorrow on the PlayStation 4 and PC via the Epic Games Store. It’s also going to be available to PlayStation 5 users if you’re lucky enough to get the new console.
You can get the digital edition or you can pre-order the physical editions—which include a Day One edition, iam8bit exclusive edition, and The Pathless 2xLP vinyl set.
I can’t wait to try this out. Hopefully, the quality of the gameplay matches the artwork.
