Sony Announces Papo & Yo for PlayStation Network; Debut Video

Today, indie game developer Minority Media, in conjunction with Sony's Pub Fund, officially announced the development of Papo & Yo for PlayStation Network.

Papo & Yo is Minority's first title and will be demoed next week during E3 2011 at the Sony booth. The game is an intriguing puzzle / platform / adventure that challenges players to navigate the world as a boy named Quico with the help of his trusted friend Monster.

Unfortunately, Monster is saddled with a debilitating addiction to frogs, which actually change the cuddly confidant into a nightmarish adversary for Quico. Here's what the press notification had to say:

"Papo & Yo will take players on an emotional journey that explores the relationship between a boy and his sometimes-scary best friend. As players progress, Monster will react differently to their actions based on his current desires. If Monster is in a good mood, he will play with Quico and help with tasks; if Monster is hungry, he will seek out food; if that food happens to be a poisonous frog, he’ll transform into a terrifying killing machine bent on nothing but destruction. Players will need to learn to use Monster’s emotions, both good and bad, to their advantage if they want to complete their search for a cure and save their pal."

Papo & Yo is scheduled to launch in 2012, but the debut video launched on YouTube this morning. We have gone ahead and embedded it here, though you can also check it out on our Papo & Yo video gallery. We've also got the latest screenshots in our Papo & Yo image gallery.
