'Young Souls' (ALL) Comes to Google Stadia First - Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 23, 2020 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT

Young Souls is a touching and exciting narrative-driven RPG beat-em-up/adventure about two teen siblings who have no one but each other.

People call them outcasts. Screw people.

Gorgeously animated, Young Souls draws you in with its distinct art direction that keeps you playing.

Young Souls features precise gameplay mechanics wrapped inside a profound story with unforgettable characters and intense combat. Penned by Matthew Ritter (The Walking Dead game, Nova Phase graphic novels), Young Souls draws players into a familiar place teeming with nostalgia and adventure where everything is possible.

Jenn and Tristan are two teenagers twins who find themselves suddenly abandoned and without a family until a good-hearted scientist adopts and brings them into his home settled within a small port town. Life in Portsbourgh for Jenn and Tristan proves uneventful. Uneventful, that is, until they uncover a portal to another world which threatens the very existence of life on Earth as we know it. The alternate world is filled with goblins, friends and foes, but Jenn and Tristan are used to going it alone and set out to navigate this strange new world - all was going well, until it wasn’t.

Today’s announcement is capped by a new trailer diving into the beautiful world of Young Souls, joining orphans Jenn and Tristan as their menial, everyday routines are upended by the disappearance of their scholarly guardian. After discovering an inexplicable portal in the professor’s estate, Jenn and Tristan dive headfirst into the unknown, braving battles through surreal worlds to save the only one dear to them.

Young Souls features intelligently designed drop in/drop out mechanics, meticulously and gorgeously rendered environments to play in, set to a beautiful original soundtrack scored by Joachim Neuville (Inside My Radio). Players can train, collect gold and raid in dozens of dungeons with a variety of weapons, but will have to be careful that Jenn and Tristan don’t meet an early demise.  

Key Features

  • Fight with Jenn and Tristan, solo or in co-op, and experience the adventures of the twins and the two worlds through a beautifully crafted story and polished dialogue.
  • Customise your gear by unlocking hundreds of weapons, armour sets and accessories, and then prepare to fight hordes of enemies and over 20 fearsome bosses.
  • Explore the four unique biomes of the goblin world and complete dozens of dungeons in your quest to save the world, your reputation and the professor.
  • Pass from one world to the other through day and night and make the most of each environment. Enjoy stunning scenery and a unique atmosphere as you wander the streets of Portsbourgh.

Young Souls will arrive first on Stadia ahead of a later release on PC (Steam).
