The subsequent sport from Richard Hogg, Hole Ponds, and Annapurna Interactive

Hole Ponds and Richard Hogg, the creators behind Wilmot’s Warehouse, Loot Rascals, and I Am Lifeless, are again with a calming co-op sport concerning the “pleasure of flight” known as Flock. The upcoming PC, PlayStation, and Xbox sport made its debut throughout this afternoon’s Annapurna Interactive Showcase, and it was my spotlight of the stream. It’s so pure!

Unsurprisingly, the artwork route is fabulous, as I’ve come to count on from Hole Ponds.

I’m additionally into the laid-back vibes I’m seeing up to now — the concept is to build up a hoard of cute critters as a flying shepherd, and also you’ll be joined by different gamers, including to the coziness. The Steam web page mentions on-line co-op; I’m hoping for sofa co-op, too.

In accordance with the builders, you possibly can “appeal” creatures into becoming a member of your flock, and with hover-sheep within the combine, you should utilize wool to make “hats, cardigans, and even socks.”

Flock is coming to PC (through Steam), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Collection X/S, and Sport Cross.

One other cool sport that Richard Hogg labored on, Hohokum, has discovered its manner onto Steam. After seeing Flock for the primary time, my thoughts instantly went again to that PS3/Vita-era sport about exploring improbable worlds. Some discovered it a bit boring, however I cherished it.

Even when they haven’t caught on with an enormous viewers, I actually recognize this staff’s video games. This one, specifically, looks like it has the fitting components to resonate.
