Breath of the Wild<\/i><\/a> smells, but it looks to differentiate itself by providing some home-building mechanics and two-player co-op. The developer is also touting a \u201cHollywood screenwriter\u201d and the voice actress who lent her cords to Princess Zelda in Breath of the Wild<\/i>.<\/p> <\/iframe><\/p>
I\u2019m a bit of a fan of Apogee\u2019s reinvention of itself. Utilizing its name recognition for publishing small and independent titles feels a bit like a return to the company\u2019s original manifesto. I doubt we\u2019ll be getting a rebirth of shareware, however.<\/p>
With that said, while Elements <\/i>definitely has a charming look to it, I think I\u2019m hitting my tolerance limit for open-world games. It\u2019s a genre that grows and grows as the years go on but still somehow stays exactly the same.<\/p>
Nevertheless, the people have spoken, and the Kickstarter campaign sits at around $200,000 Canadian Loonies as of writing. The campaign runs until Friday, March 3, 2023, at 6:00 PM PST, so there\u2019s still a bit of time to nab a tier if this all looks interesting.<\/p>
If not, Elements<\/i> will hit Steam Early Access in Q2 2024. The full title is expected to come to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC in Q2 2025.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":366166,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[20263,580,478],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":17,"display_name":"Zoey
