Bit of a wait
Apogee has announced that Wreckit Games’ open-world adventure Elements has succeeded in and is set to drop into Steam Early Access in the second quarter of ဣ2024, followed by a release on various consoles in 2025.
Elements is a vibrant-looking open-world game set in the land of Elemythia. The game gives some mad Breath of the Wild smells, but it looks to differentiate itself by providing some home-building mechanics and two-player co-op. The developer is also touting a “Hollywood screenwriter” and the voice actress who lent her cords to Princess Zelda in Breath of the Wild.
I’m a bit of a fan of Apogee’s reinvention of itself. Utilizing its name recognition for publishing small and independent titles feels a bit like a return to the company’s original mꦓanifesto. I doꦐubt we’ll be getting a rebirth of shareware, however.
With that said, while Elements definitelꦛy has a charming look to it, I think I’m hitting my tolerance limit for open-world games. It’s a genre that grows and grows as the years go on but still somehow stays exactly the same.
Nevertheless, the▨ people have spoken, and the Kickstarter campaign sits at around $200,000 Canadian Loonies as of writing. The campaign runs until Frida𝕴y, March 3, 2023, at 6:00 PM PST, so there’s still a bit of time to nab a tier if this all looks interesting.
If not, Elements will hit Steam Early Access in Q2 20💯24. The full title is expec𒉰ted to come to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC in Q2 2025.
