Devolver Digital sure knows how to pick 'em. It's just announced The Plucky Squire, a brand new game from developer All Possible Futures, and the enchanting debut trailer has really caught our attention. It's a bright, kid-friendly action adventure that starts off within the pages of a storybook, but will take main character Jot out into the three-dimensional real world.
It's hard to describe exactly — we'd urge you to watch the trailer. Basically, it's a hybrid; some of the game will see Jot merge into objects like books and mugs, in which he'll be a cartoonish, 2D character. These sections appear to have quite a bit of variety — we see a top-down adventure, a shoot-'em-up, and a fighting game style sequence. However, gameplay continues when the character pops out into reality, where he becomes a 3D adventurer, exploring what looks like a child's bedroom.
It looks impressively imaginative, and we can't wait to play this one for ourselves. Unfortunately, it won't be with us until sometime next year on PS5, but it's something to look forward to. What do you think of The Plucky Squire? Pop by and tell us in the comments section below.

Well this looks fantastic. Quite a bit more creative than anything we saw during that two hour slog.
This and Cult of the Lamb were the stars of the show, i love how this game looks like zelda links awakening remake engine but UHD. One of the owners of that studio worked designing Pokémon and some of them are really good designs so this game is going to be a feast for the eyes.
Wow, that looks really good.
Wow, he had some muscle ?! 😯
And 3D world ? 😲
This looks amazing! When the trailer first started I was like "This reminds me of Swords of Ditto". Then he jumped off the page into the 3D world and I was blown away from there. Can't wait to play this.
@GymratAmarillo What show was this part of? I want to watch that show!!
@Culjoseth The Devolver Digital showcase. It’s only 4 games but in a very entertaining package, do watch it.
That looked absolutely amazing. That would have been awesome for that summer games show.
This looks absolutely incredible. I was all in with how charming it was on the book pages, but once it switched worlds… day one for me.
This is more like it , looks fun
The games shown by Devolver were by far the best games of the evening. This looks awesome.
This looks really cool. Definitely a pre order from me
Never expected a game shown in the devolver show to be the most interesting one of the entire evening. This looks so good and cool. The whole switching between 2d/3d making use of the environment is a very original and fun twist. I certainly will keep an eye out on this
Now this is one "2D & 3D mix"-style game I'm keeping my eyes on, this looks incredible! This game was the hightlight of the show, in terms of newly announced games, imo.
Looks outstanding! I’m looking forward to more details. Devolver doesn’t disappoint.
Looks cool this.
This looks better then anything that was on the main show, can't wait to play this
Looks different from the normal fare out there, hopefully with gameplay to match. The only real strange thing being how there's a switch version but no ps4/xbone version,only PS5/XBSX?🤔
Granted,if designed with new gen/SSD in mind it could be a bit messy on older gen...its just curious.
Shaping up to be be yet another gem from Devolver, at least based on this trailer. Wow.
The only game that looks fun and interesting.
Best trailer this week xD
@GymratAmarillo Agreed! I wasn't sure about it at first, but was sold soon as I saw him enter the real world.
@Anti-Matter This looks like the perfect game for you, hopefully it's E or E10
