After teasing a new title for Wii U earlier this week, MixedBag has announced “forma.8”. The title is slated for the eShop as well as the PS4, PS Vita, PC, Mac, Linux, and iOS.

forma.8 is a Metroidvania-inspired project set in a distant future. Players will float and explore their way through an alien planet without any sort of direction – everything is conveyed through images and sounds – as they attempt to locate and recover a powerful energy source deep under the surface before it’s too late.

MixedBag says forma.8 is the first Italian-made game announced for a next generation console. It’s also being worked on by just two people.

forma.8 will be shown at EGX Rezzed 2014 in the Leftfield Collection at the end of March.

You’ll find a trailer for the game above. An official announcement with more details is below.

Ronimo Games has announced Swords & Solders II for the Wii U eShop. The original game hit WiiWare back in 2009, and was later ported to other platforms – including 3DS.

Here’s what we know about Swords & Soldiers II, straight from Ronimo:

A sequel to the 2009 original, Swords & Soldiers II sends Redbeard and his gang of burly Vikings on an all-new adventure, making new friends and facing new enemies. This isn’t just about who can organize the best barbecue party anymore — this time the world also needs some serious saving!

More details about Swords & Soldiers II will be revealed at GDC 2014 and PAX East. A teaser site can be found here.
