'Ghost of a Tale' (ALL) Comes to Xbox One This Year, PS4 In 2019, Maybe Switch

Ghost of a Tale is an action-RPG game in which you play as Tilo, a mouse and minstrel thrown into a perilous adventure.

Ghost of a tale takes place in a medieval world populated only by animals, and puts an emphasis on immersion and exploration. It features stealth elements, disguises, conversations with allies and enemies, and quests.

You’ll be able to explore the secrets of Dwindling Heights Keep and navigate its dangers. Tilo is not much of a fighter, so stealth and nimbleness are your allies when confronted with enemies twice your size. Talk to the characters you meet and leave no stone unturned in your quest to find Merra, your true love…

On the road to releasing Ghost of a Tale on the Xbox One we have reached a tremendous milestone: indeed we’ve just received Microsoft’s certification! Among other things, it means the final version of Ghost of a Tale actually runs on the Xbox One without setting fire to the console, which is great, right?!

More seriously though, now that this important step is behind us, it leaves us free to polish the last details and integrate the most recent bug fixes (we’ve recently put out a small patch for the game on PC). In terms of a release date we can’t say anything more precise yet, except that we are aiming for December. There’s still  a lot of moving parts though so please be aware that this is our hope, as opposed to a solid promise.

In any case we can’t wait for people who played the Preview version of the game to find out about the new characters, locations, quests, etc. Hopefully new players will like what they discover as well! From a visual standpoint, the final version provides better textures, lighting and dynamic resolution.

Now regarding the PS4 version, I’m happy to announce that we’ve hired Seaven Studio to take care of the port. They’ll start working on it within the next month or two and we hope to be able to release the game on Sony’s console early next year.

Finally regarding a potential port of Ghost of a Tale to the Nintendo Switch (since we get quite a few requests about that), let’s just say that my stance has slightly changed from “I’m not sure that’s even possible” to “we might look into it in the future”.

Key Features:

  • Explore a medieval world as a minstrel mouse
  • Use your intelligence, nimbleness and stealth to survive
  • A non-violent game were you're not required to kill anyone

Ghost of a tale is curently available on PC through Steam or GOG.com for $19.99.
