Forthright Leisure has introduced that Soma Video games’ The Misplaced Legends of Redwall: The Scout Anthology is prepped to re-release consoles on December 1, 2023. It’s coming to PS5, Xbox X|S, and PC.

I type of needed to do some digging on this one because the press launch omits sure issues, like the truth that it is a compilation of three beforehand launched video games. The primary episode of The Misplaced Legends of Redwall: The Scout dropped again in 2018, with the opposite two following in 2021. Solely the primary act landed on Xbox One and PS4, with the others arriving on PC. This level is moot, nonetheless, as a result of they’ve been delisted from all platforms. Going ahead, that is going to be the one technique to expertise them.

I missed them the primary time, which is humorous as a result of on my wishlist of video games I need to see is an honest sport primarily based on Brian Jacques’ Redwall e book sequence. In my youth, I used to be an avid fan of the sequence and skim via a superb chunk of them. In case you’re unfamiliar, they’re important fantasy novels, however as an alternative of Elves and Orcs, it’s mice and rats. They’re joyful and well-written books, even when they are usually fairly formulaic.

To date, it appears to be like… okay. I don’t assume the video games had been precisely well-received the primary time round, so hopefully, Soma Video games did one thing with the suggestions they obtained. I don’t assume the trailer is doing it any favors. Normally, trailers are actually closely edited to point out solely essentially the most polished slices of gameplay, and this one appears to be like fairly uncooked. It’s a linear, action-adventure narrative instructed in three components. I discover it humorous that it says, “An journey for all of the household,” straight after displaying what appears to be like like conflagrated rats. The books weren’t precisely flowery on a regular basis, so it’s arduous to have Redwall with out the conflict.

Gosh, good instances.

The Misplaced Legends of Redwall: The Scout Anthology is coming to PS5, Xbox X|S, and PC on December 1, 2023.
