Helsinki, Finland - September 11th 2025: Independent game studio Another Round Entertainment is excited to announce that its upcoming first-person platformer, Jumpbound, will officially launch on Steam on September 24th 2025.
Jumpbound is a challenging yet atmospheric platformer, where each milestone you reach unlocks a new jump or dash. What starts as a single leap quickly becomes a set of moves that lets you reach heights that once felt impossible. You'll have to take leaps of faith, go around corners, and adapt to what comes next mid-air on your way to the top.
Set on a mysterious and beautiful planet, Jumpbound combines meditative exploration with high-stakes platforming. Enjoy the view and relaxing atmosphere as you find your way up while subtle storytelling emerges through cryptic ruins and fragments of the protagonist’s inner thoughts. Jump, fall, and go again until you can break the loop and get out of the planet.

“We wanted to create a game that feels both cozy and challenging - a place where every leap forward feels earned, and every fall makes you want to try again,” said Eero Kuurne, co-founder of Another Round Entertainment. “Jumpbound is about determination, mystery, and the joy of climbing higher than you thought you could.”
Inspired by the jumping puzzles of games like Destiny 2 and DOOM Eternal and the progressing mood and beauty of games like Journey, Jumpbound invites you to a proper challenge that ensures a relaxing experience even in the face of failure. Treat every fall as an opportunity to learn something new and embrace the thrill of getting just a little bit higher each time.
