During today’s State of Play, there were many cool and exciting announcements. Such as the Speedrunning levels DLC for the hit platformer Astro Bot, new gameplay for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and even the next game from Sucker Punch called Ghost of Yotei that ended the show with a bang. However, the Midnight Walk was one of the earliest reveals in the State of Play that stuck out. A game handcrafted with clay from the creators of Lost in Random, a sleeper hit game from the EA Originals program.
The Midnight Walk right from its unique presentation also has a very interesting gameplay premise. As it seems to borrow a lot from the survival horror and puzzle genres in unique ways.
Setting and Gameplay Details for The Midnight Walk
In The Midnight Walk, you will play as the Burnt One and control a lantern creature named Potboy. As the Burnt One, you will guide Potboy around to light your way around the strange and twisted world. But as the Burnt One you will be playing in first person, with Potboy being controlled in third person perspectives. Meaning that you will be looking around and hiding from the dangers in the game akin to a survival horror game. But also controlling Potboy to distract creatures and get through areas. As well as using matches as torches, and a match launcher to scare away threats.
While there will be more details to come, the game looks frightening in a charming way and is absolutely a title you should keep your eyes on!
The Midnight Walk will be launching on PlayStation 5, PSVR 2, and PC via Steam next year. No details on its price are currently known.
