Slow Bros. :
COLOGNE, NOVEMBER 30, 2023 - Today, as part of the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted 2024 edition showcase, developer Slow Bros. premiered a new trailer for their eye-catching adventure game Harold Halibut, as the team looks forward to its release in Early 2024 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game will also launch on Xbox Game Pass.
Harold Halibut is a game that began its journey with the team building real-world sets and puppets over 10 years ago. While Slow Bros. is not quite ready to share an exact release date yet, the end of Harold Halibut’s development journey is in sight. Today’s new trailer showcases that hard work.
Much care and craftsmanship has gone into creating every physical object present and playable in Harold Halibut. Earlier this year, The Museum of Design Zurich welcomed Slow Bros. to display the game’s intricately detailed puppets and sets as part of the museum’s Game Design Today exhibit. Visitors left impressed that these are all objects one can interact with in a video game.
Indeed, soon players will be able to join Harold in his day to day life on a city-sized spaceship, stranded in an alien ocean, as he gets to know his fellow ship inhabitants and sets out to figure out whether home is back on Earth, here on the Fedora, or still waiting out in the stars.
