To help tide you over, we have prepared a brand new trailer to celebrate our new release timeframe and the Game Pass news – check it out! On a brighter note, we are also extremely excited to finally announce that Planet of Lana will also be available day one with Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass, so anyone subscribed to those services or to Game Pass Ultimate will be able to play our off-earth odyssey as soon as it is ready. Delaying a game is never an easy call to make, but with all the support we have received thus far, we hope to make everyone happy when it launches. We think the extra few months wait will be worth it and we thank you for your patience and understanding. We also think that we owe this to you, the players, not to compromise this experience just to meet a date. We initially planned for Planet of Lana to launch this year, however as development has progressed throughout 2022, we realized that in order to meet our standards, we need a little more time to get Planet of Lana right and ensure it lives up to the vision we have presented for it so far. Before we get into that, we do have another announcement to make: Planet of Lana will be launching in Spring 2023. With that in mind, I wanted to give Xbox fans a little taste of what’s to come and highlight some of the key elements and gameplay mechanics that we will be debuting next week. ![]() Planet of Lana is due next year on PC via Steam (opens in new tab), Xbox Series X, and Xbox One (also via Xbox Game Pass).It’s official – Planet of Lana will be playable for the first time at gamescom 2022! Myself and the team at Wishfully Studios have been super busy preparing this playable demo for the show. What could that mean? I guess we'll have to wait until Spring 2023 to find out. "The music actually plays a pretty integral part of the story too – I can't go into too much detail about it, I really wish that I could because I could nerd-out on it for, like, two hours!" "As for the music, well, it really is a huge honor to be working with Takeshi Furukawa," adds Ericksson. Doing all of this against Takeshi Furukawa's wonderful score is equally exciting, and I now can't wait to learn how the game's music impacts its plot. I can't wait to explore more of its world, take on more of its robotic baddies, and work through more of its brain-teasing puzzles – later conundrums of which will, says Ericksson, see us hypnotizing animals. I've barely scratched the surface, and yet I'm already totally hooked. Which, of course, speaks directly to the fact Wishfully is building something special with Planet of Lana. Doing so is optional, he said, but just about every other journalist who'd played the demo did so over the course of the show. Throughout my time working through the demo at Gamescom, Eriksson laughed aloud every time I waited on Mui to catch up after completing a puzzle set-piece. Even after spending just half-an-hour in the shoes of Lana, I really can't wait to explore more and likewise look forward to developing the hero's relationship with little Mui. The game in its entirety will boast deserts, swamps, a network of underground tunnels, and the ancient remains of an ill-fated spaceship among other intriguing locales. The setting that I steered Lana and Mui through was a pastoral landscape packed with lush greenery and knife-edged gullies, but Eriksson keenly points out this is but one biome among several others we'll visit in Planet Lana. ![]() We couldn't believe it! And he told us afterwards that's the first time he's ever done that before." He basically took one look at Adam's artwork, and liked it so much he wanted to be a part of the project. He's a really talented guy, and he got in touch to say he'd really like to work on the game. "He is of course known for The Last Guardian, and other stuff, such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars. "Takeshi Furukawa actually emailed us out of the blue based on an image of the game," explains Wishfully co-founder and Planet of Lana writer, Klas Martin Eriksson. As fate would have it, the latter game's composer, the esteemed Takeshi Furukawa, is now also writing the score for Planet of Lana – and all it took was a glance at an early screenshot, followed by an unsolicited email. In doing so, Lana is joined and helped along by her loyal and adorable pet, Mui, in a set-up that echoes everything from Inside to Limbo, Little Nightmares, Abe's Odyssey, Another World, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, and The Last Guardian. Due in Spring 2023, and billed by the devs as a cinematic puzzle adventure that's "framed by an epic sci-fi saga", Planet of Lana sees us filling the shoes of the titular protagonist, who's tasked with uncovering the secrets of an unfamiliar world overrun with hostile machines.
