Europa, the peaceful action adventure game that is heavily inspired by the world of Ghibli, has taken part in the April 17, 2024 Nintendo IndieWorld Showcase, where it was revealed that the game will be coming out on Nintendo Switch as well as PC (other consoles to follow). A demo on Nintendo Switch has surprise launched and is available now.
About the Game
On the moon Europa, a lush terraformed paradise in Jupiter’s shadow, an android named Zee sets out in search of answers. Run, glide, and fly across the landscape, solve mysteries in the ruins of a fallen utopia, and discover the story of the last human alive.
Europa is a peaceful game of adventure, exploration and meditation. As you travel you’ll gradually upgrade the capabilities of your Zephyr jetpack, boosting yourself further through the air until you can flow freely into the sky.

More recently he’s enlisted a crack squad of friends, Alex Petherick-Brian (programming), Craig Harris (animation) & Brian Horn (narrative and cinematics), alongside some other wildly talented folks to help make Europa the best game it can be, with the new team working under the banner of Novadust Entertainment.
