If there was one game announcement we were worried about during today’s Devolver Delayed showcase, it was The Plucky Squire<\/a>. And now we know that the gorgeous action-adventure game from All Possible Futures \u2014 a game studio founded by Pok\u00e9mon artist James Turner \u2014 has been pushed back to 2024.<\/p>\n

Combining both 2D top-down visuals and 3D worlds, The Plucky Squire is a stunning action-adventure game that shifts between the two different visual styles \u2014 one more like a storybook, the other more like little toys. We’ve seen it pop up during a few indie presentations before, and it was originally slated for a 2023 release, but we’ve got to wait just a little longer to see this storybook brought to life.<\/p>\n

Just in case you’ve missed it, here are a few more details about the game from publisher Devolver Digital<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

The Plucky Squire follows the magical adventures of Jot and his friends – storybook characters who discover a three-dimensional world outside the pages of their book.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

When the malevolent Humgrump realizes he’s the villain of the book – destined to lose his battle against the forces of good for all eternity – he kicks the heroic Jot out of its pages and changes the story forever.<\/p>\n

Jot must face challenges, unlike anything he’s ever seen if he is to save his friends from Humgrump’s dark forces and restore the book’s happy ending.<\/p>\n

Jump between 2D and 3D worlds in this charming action-adventure – solving puzzles, boxing badgers, flying with a jetpack, and enjoying many more delightful and surprising mini-challenges as you become the hero of a living storybook.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Devolver’s presentation cheekily emulated the Nintendo Direct style, but as much as we’re disappointed that this (and a handful of other indies such as Pepper Grinder<\/a>) have been delayed, we appreciate the up-front honest from the title.<\/p>\n
