This is a rather lovely surprise, the adventure strategy RPG 'Pathway' from Robotality is releasing April 11th. As I wrote about before recently, it's going to include same-day Linux support.

They have a new trailer to go along with the announcement:

As a huge fan of strategy games that mix in interesting events, I'm very excited by this one. Especially since it will have five different campaigns, each of which is generated differently for every play-through. This isn't some permadeath game though, as they say your characters will be able to keep their experience when you're defeated.

The graphical style is pretty unique too, while it's retro-inspired 16-bit pixel art it's using a "Pixel/Voxel Hybrid Technology" they claim gives "unprecedented depth, lighting and shadows". That's quite a bit of marketing talk there but damn, it sure does look good!

For the launch they will have English, German and French support with Japanese and Chinese "coming soon".

You can wishlist and follow it on GOG and Steam.

I'm hoping to see a review key, so as usual I shall have thoughts up on it whenever possible.
