Gibbon: Beyond the Trees going physical on Switch

In partnership with Broken Rules, Super Rare Games is planning a physical release of Gibbon: Beyond the Trees for Switch. 

Only 3,000 copies will be made. Each unit contains a copy of the game on a cartridge, extended art manual, pop-out pink postcard, and 1 of 4 charity NGO cards.

We’ll also mention that between October 10 and October 20, Super Rare Games will be running a charity auction for two Gibbon: Beyond the Trees Plaque’s, in support of the charities linked with the game. These are the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project, Gibbon Conservation Society, Rainforest Rescue, and Bruno Manser Fonds. The plaques hold the game case, sticker, and full set of trading cards. Just four plaques will ever be produced. The winning bid in its entirety will be donated to the aforementioned chariotries.

Below is an overview of Gibbon: Beyond the Trees:

Gibbon: Beyond the Trees is a hand-drawn adventure following a lost gibbon as they embark on a dangerous journey into unknown lands. Race to freedom in liberation mode, or play through an hour-long narrative that captures the real struggle of living creatures around the world.

Master the gibbon’s art of brachiation (swinging from branch to branch) at high speed, building momentum, pulling off spectacular somersaults, and launching yourself higher and further into the air with the help of your fellow Gibbons, feeling the thrill and exhilaration of life in an untamed jungle.

Key Features

• Experience free-flowing dynamic movement based on brachiation, the way real gibbons swing through the trees
• Master acrobatic moves, including launching from another gibbon’s hands in mid air
• A touching adventure of a family of gibbons trying to survive amid an encroaching human threat.
• Play through an hourlong adventure in story mode, or race to freedom through a procedurally generated jungle in liberation mode.
• Stunning 2D hand painted visuals that breathe life into a rapidly vanishing world.
• Explore varied environments, from the wild jungles of Southeast Asia to the hectic human world beyond.
• Gibbon: Beyond the Trees deals with challenging but acute environmental topics, including deforestation, poaching and climate change.
