'First Wonder' Partners With Grip Digital For Console - Screens & Trailer

Spiritual successor to MDK and Giants: Citizen Kabuto, First Wonder features a unique blend of third-person shooter gameplay with an emphasis on verticality within an open-ended world ripe for exploration.

When a greedy corporation tricks the planet’s peaceful inhabitants, the Majorcans, to give up their land to found a luxury resort, they accidentally awaken the slumbering giant Monstro. Tasked with fulfilling an ancient prophecy, destruction follows in Monstro’s wake as he takes steps to accomplish his destiny-driven goal. The Cargonauts - a underprepared salvage team, way out of their league when Monstro awakens - take to the skies using their rocket technology in an attempt at matching Monstro’s natural gifts. To find and capture the terrifying beast, the Cargonaunts must use their wits and a variety of tools and inventive traps.

Players will alternatively take the reigns of both Monstro and the ragtag team of Cargonauts tasked with stopping him in the humor-laden, genre-defying ​First Wonder ​ .

Monstro's size and agility makes him a powerful and elusive foe, able to leap over obstacles, charge at opponents, and exploit the natural formations of the game's expansive Majorcan Islands for quick traversal and strategic strikes. The Cargonauts, a ragtag team of deep space salvagers, are tasked with recapturing the terrifying beast, using teamwork, tools, and powerful jet packs to rival Monstro's natural abilities.


Rogue Rocket Games announces a partnership with independent console developer and publisher GRIP Digital to bring  First Wonder to consoles, once fully funded on PC. Indie-developer Rogue Rocket Games is currently running a First Wonder Kickstarter campaign, looking for $500,000, to finish up development on their 3rd person PC action adventure game.

"The team at GRIP have such excellent console experience, there's nobody better to help spread the madness of First Wonder to PlayStation and Xbox," said Rogue Rocket Games co-founder Richard Sun. Jakub Mikyska of GRIP Digital added, “We are very excited about partnering with Rogue Rocket Games to bring First Wonder to consoles – because, believe us, there really is nothing like this on consoles right now, and gamers need this!"
