Zelda-Like Title, Tunic, Gets Release Date and New Trailer
Posted on December 11 2021 by Andrew Millard
The Zelda wheelhouse may not have spawned a nifty genre name like “metroidvania,” but its influence is everywhere. Recent standouts like Kena: Bridge of Spirits and Oceanhorn 2 have kept Zelda fans fed between mainline games just fine. One title that has had fans in anticipation for almost two years now is Tunic (stylized TUNIC). As of the night of The Game Awards, it is set for release. Tunic will arrive on Xbox Series consoles and Steam on March 16th, 2022. Developer Andrew Shouldice and publisher Finji games also dropped a fresh trailer to accompany the release date announcement through its official Twitter account.
Tunic looks to take the classic Zelda formula and mix it with its own gorgeous and inviting style. I also see cues from Animal Crossing, 3D Dot Game Heroes, and Captain Toad’s Treasure Tracker. The trailer shares several vignettes showing off the game’s adorable aesthetic, puzzles, combat, and a storybook-style world map.
Just revealed on the @ID_Xbox stream, here’s an *extended* look at the TUNIC launch date trailer.
TUNIC releases March 16 2022.
