Pré-commande Épaules de géants aujourd'hui sur le Xbox Store, disponible janvier 26

Après presque trois ans de développement, nous sommes ravis de vous annoncer que Épaules de géants est maintenant disponible en pré-commande. Le jeu sortira en janvier 26, 2023, sur Xbox! Découvrez la nouvelle bande-annonce ci-dessus avec un mélange de chaos solo et coopératif.

L'une des toutes premières idées que nous avons eues lorsque nous avons commencé à créer Épaules de géants, était la silhouette d'un personnage plus petit chevauchant le dos d'un personnage beaucoup plus grand. Et puis nous avons pensé, et si vous pouviez contrôler ces deux personnages à la fois? Comment cela fonctionnerait-il? Serait-ce amusant?

Il a fallu beaucoup d'expérimentation et de prototypage pour trouver le bon endroit, et une expérience fraîche mais familière. Nous pensions, et si on séparait les types de combat entre ces personnages, un personnage fait toute la mêlée, et est un grand mech puissant? And the other character perched atop its back a small, nimble, gun wielding frog?

Once we found this combination, we knew we had found the core of the game. The next question we asked ourselves was, what type of world would these characters be in? What would their goal be in the game?

We have always been huge fans of science fiction, and knew we wanted a world where there was a dark force these heroes had to overcome, the classic theme of dark versus light. But how could we actually take this theme and create an interactive way for the player to experience it?

We imagined after an intense boss battle having the entire world transform from barren and dark, to vibrant, lush and full of life in a cinematic way. We experimented with real-time ways the player could do this, and found it to be fun and exciting and it became a pillar of the players abilities.

Speaking of abilities, the last core idea behind the game was that we wanted Épaules de géants to feel like a colorful playground with a huge arsenal of sci-fi gadgets and weapons for the player to explore and tinker with.

Players encounter weapons and abilities like a firework-shooting grenade launcher, a giant stomping shoe, a surfable shield, et beaucoup plus. The core combat is all about experimenting with different combinations of equipment to find that amazing combo that keeps things feeling fresh and exciting.

While combat is the main gameplay pillar, we knew that we wanted a story for the game to take place in and for the characters and world to feel grounded too. The forces of entropy have taken over the universe, it is the players job to combat this dark force and to restore order and balance back to the universe.

As you beat more levels and save more worlds from the forces of entropy, you will build up your heat meter, allowing you to access increasingly difficult levels. As you pass certain heat thresholds, you will unlock special story boss encounters as you make your way to the final boss.

Along the way, you will acquire new weapons for both Froggie and the heroic Robot of the Galaxy as well as new pieces of armor, XP to spend on your skill tree, and dyes to further customize the look of your characters.

While you can customize your own frog and robot with dozens of cosmetics that are unlockable in-game, the four above can only be acquired as a bonus for pre-ordering the game:

This pre-order bonus includes four color sets, so you and up to three co-op friends can save the universe in style right from the start of the game.

Even better, le jeu est 20% off during this pre-order period. Pour plus d'informations, check out the game’s store page and official website, ou join our discord.
