Morkull Ragast’s Rage is a side-scroller from developer Catastrophe Video games that’s on the brink of break the fourth wall in 2024. Writer Selecta Play introduced plans to launch the motion sport on PlayStation 5, Xbox Sequence X|S, Nintendo Swap, and PC by way of Steam. You possibly can see a few of its 2D artwork type in motion within the announcement trailer.

Again within the day, it was principally sport ads that advised gamers they sucked. In Morkull Ragast’s Rage, nonetheless, the hero of the story is a villain who’s nicely conscious they’re in a online game. Meaning Morkull can be conscious of you and the devs that introduced him to life. The trailer doesn’t present a lot of the fourth wall destruction that serves as one of many key hooks, however we all know the God of Loss of life and Darkness loves quips and popular culture references.

Dangerous ‘tudes 

It feels like Morkull’s communication with gamers could transcend a sprinkling of unhealthy jokes right here and there. Selecta Play mentions “a contact of exploration” along with platforming and motion, so perhaps he’ll maintain us all from getting misplaced alongside the best way. As somebody who will get rotated simply in video games, I can solely dream. 

From sketches to inks and animation, the artwork in Morkull Ragast’s Rage is totally hand-drawn, with “conventional animated movies and different two-dimensional video video games” offering the inspiration. It’s presently out there to wishlist on Steam with extra data on the date to be introduced later. I’ll be bolstering the defenses of my very own fourth wall within the meantime.
