Google Stadia has managed a small win today after publisher Modus Games revealed its upcoming release Lost Words: Beyond the Page<\/em> will launch exclusively on the streaming platform. <\/p>\n

The 2D narrative adventure is being developed by Sketchbook Games and Fourth State, and features a story written by acclaimed scribe Rhianna Pratchett. <\/p>\n

As reported by VentureBeat<\/a>, the ‘First on Stadia’ title will launch for the platform on March 27, and will remain a Stadia exclusive for one year before eventually arriving on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4, and PC. <\/p>\n

It might only be a minor victory for Google, but it’s a notable one given the company has recently come under fire from Stadia owners who claimed they had been left in the dark by the tech giant following the platform’s launch.<\/p>\n

Towards the end of January, Stadia users voiced their concerns on Reddit<\/a> and claimed Google had failed to fulfil a number of promises with regards to game announcements and feature updates, ultimately positing that the company had “over sold and under delivered.” <\/p>\n

Since then, Google has rolled out Stadia support on 19 non-Google Pixel smartphones<\/a> and announced its free tier will arrive<\/a> at some point in the ‘next few months.’ Other games including SteamWorld Dig<\/em> and The Division 2<\/em> have also been announced for the platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
