'Young Souls' Needs More Time, Delayed Until Q1 2022

by Rainier on Dec. 7, 2021 @ 9:14 a.m. PST

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.

Greetings everyone,

Months ago, we were all so thrilled to finally give you a release window. Last October, we even let you try our demo for the first time, and we were so grateful for your warm and constructive feedback. Unfortunately, today we cannot confirm this timeframe without compromising our human work ethics as well as our game quality. Therefore, we have made the difficult decision to postpone Young Souls to Q1 2022.

To be honest, we have been working on this project for FIVE years, and we cannot possibly rush it now. Our utmost desire is to deliver the finest gem we can make. It goes without saying that in doing so, we will not let our team be pressured as it is not our internal policy to do such a thing. Indeed, we are a small team, and the quality of our game is just as important as the health of our fellow developers (whom we love and cherish).

In the end, we are just as pained as you are, if not more so. Still, sometimes tough decisions have to be made for the best of our team, you, and our game.

On behalf of the entire Young Souls team, we send you lots of love and can't thank you enough for your unwavering support and patience. In the meantime, please take care of yourselves, because we will be back soon with more info about our release date.

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.

Currently available on Google Stadia, Young Souls is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC (Steam) in Q1 2022 for $24.99.
