Open-world adventure game Aka announced for Switch

Publisher Neowiz and developer Cosmic Gatto today unveiled Aka, a wholesome open-world adventure game. It will release on Switch in Q4 2022.

The title has you playing as Aka, a retired red panda soldier seeking inner peace. His goal is to seek out Ghosts to bring them closure while simultaneously settling on a small island and building his home.

Gameplay features include exploration and decoration of the islands by crafting and farming, mini-games, and activities such as taking a nap, looking at a cloud, and swimming. You’ll also help the island denizens by interacting with them and helping them solve their problems.

As far as the farming goes, the system is inspired by permaculture, where associations (garden design) and wild animals play a role. It’s also possible to craft shelter, tools, clothes, and props to solve quests or simply for decoration. Crafting requires players to gather materials, find objects, or obtain them in quests.

Take a look at the first trailer for Aka below.

Aka is expected to debut digitally on Switch via the eShop later this year – no physical version has been announced at this time. Stay tuned for additional updates, including a release date.
