OPUS: Rocket of Whispers, Ninja Striker! heading to Switch
Flyhigh Works announced a pair of new titles for Switch during a presentation today. OPUS: Rocket of Whispers and Ninja Striker are both due out sometime in 2018.
OPUS: Rocket of Whispers is the next game in the series following The Day We Found Earth. It’s a third-person adventure that takes place in a snowy post-apocalyptic wilderness of an unknown world many years in the future.
As for Ninja Striker!, we’re trying to get a bit of additional information on this one. It doesn’t appear to be the same game as 2016’s Ninja Smasher! for 3DS, but rather the original game released on platforms like mobile. We’ll keep you updated on this one if we learn more.
In the meantime, here’s more on OPUS: Rocket of Whispers:
OPUS: Rocket of Whispers is a single-player third-person adventure set in the snowy post-apocalyptic wilderness of an unknown world, far in the future. Players will play as the last survivors of a nation that has an ancient tradition of cosmic worship, and belief that by launching space burials, those who’ve deceased will be able to return and rest among the stars. Throughout the game players will travel the snow covered landscape, scavenging for rocket parts and remnants of the past, so they may help the last surviving witch – religious figures who conduct the rituals of space burials – to launch one final burial. The game explores themes of purpose, pursuit and loneliness.
