The genuine love the Awaceb team have for New Caledonia, homeland of Awaceb’s co-founders, is overflowing in this gameplay snippet with its emphasis on cruising the glistening blue waters that surround the island, exploring the ocean depths and traversing the waterway of a beautiful archipelago . The art style, co lour palettes and music come together to create something incredibly heartwarming and welcoming.

Away from the water, Tchia also draws inspiration from the flora and fauna of New Caledonia to create a charming open-world to explore - take control of almost any animal or object you can find, or jam on your fully playable Ukulele!

Tchia will be moving to an early 2023 release to give the development team more time to realise their creative vision.

"Hey everyone,

We are overwhelmed by how far his project, inspired by a tiny island we call home, has brought us. After 3 years of passion and hard work, we owe it to ourselves and everyone who has been supportive to deliver the best game we possibly can.

To that end, we have decided to move our release window to early 2023. This extra time will allow us to really polish every aspect of the game and flash out all the little details that we know will make Tchia a really special experience.

Thank you again for your support. We have a lot of exciting things to show on the road to launch, so stay tuned!

Phil Crifo (Game Director)"

The world of Tchia was inspired by New Caledonia, A tiny island in the Pacific Ocean, homeland of Awaceb's co-founders. Inspiration was taken from the rich and varied local landscapes, cultures, music, languages, folklores and traditions and was used to create a fictional world and to tell a universal story that anyone can understand and enjoy. The characters are voiced by local talent in traditional languages, and subtitled in many languages including English, French, Russian, Chinese, German, and more.

Tchia is coming to PS4, PS5 and PC (Steam/Epic Games Store) in early 2023.
