Narrative-driven action platformer Brute Horce announced for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC
Due out in 2025.
Place of Departure, a studio founded by former Ministry of Broadcast developers, has announced Brute Horse, a narrative-driven action platformer with local cooperative play. It will launch for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC in 2025.
Here is an overview of the game, via Place of Departure:
Brute Horse, slightly unhinged, narrative-driven action platformer with couch cooperative play. It is set in the barbaric fantasy world of South Vulgaria, where one’s life expectancy is as poor as a pigeon’s attention to detail.
The story revolves around a trio of mercenaries: a barbarian warrior known only as Brute; his best friend and warhorse, Horse; and Michelle, a skilled assassin and aspiring inventress. Their action-packed, yet funny and heartwarming journey takes them across a number of spectacularly outlandish lands, each with its own unique set of perils.
Luckily, early on, the heroes discover the most powerful weapon the world of South Vulgaria (or any world, both real and fictional) has ever seen. The game combines elements of comedy, strategic combat, and puzzle-solving.
