“We’re so excited to finally be able to share this news with our community and fans across the world,” says Are Sundnes, CEO at Hyper Games. “It’s been incredibly difficult to keep this secret while working on the game for over two years now. Also proud and honoured to be trusted by the owners of Moomin to let gamers revisit the wonderful Moominvalley and all of its inhabitants.”
“We are thrilled about the success of Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley and the brilliant way the Hyper Games team has interpreted Tove Jansson's stories for gamers worldwide,” says Roleff Kråkström, managing director of Moomin Characters Ltd. “It is very exciting that they have decided to embark on their second Moomin adventure, with Moomintroll in the lead role. Hyper Games has been a close collaborator with us for half a decade, and we have no doubt that they will create yet another magical experience that Moomin fans will love.”
When Moomintroll unexpectedly wakes up early from his winter hibernation, he finds himself completely alone for the first time, in a world he barely recognizes. The familiar landscape of Moominvalley is now cloaked in the frosty veil of the Lady of the Cold. Initially seeking someone to care for him and longing to banish winter, young Moomintroll reluctantly embarks on a journey into the unknown, learning to forge new friendships and help those in greater need than himself.
