'Balan Wonderworld' (ALL) Available Worldwide, Day 1 Patch Rolled Out

by Rainier on March 26, 2021 @ 8:59 a.m. PDT

Entering a whimsical and bizarre land through a mysterious theatre, Balan Wonderworld is an action-platformer where you take on the role of Leo and Emma as they embark on an adventure like no other.

As players explore the fantastical land of Wonderworld, they’ll be guided by an enigmatic maestro named Balan, who will help players restore balance to the world by clearing Wonderworld of Negati, physical manifestations of worry and other negative emotions.

To accomplish this, players will jump, climb, fly, smash, and more, as they explore a multitude of unique environments within Wonderworld, collecting over 80 unique costumes to assist on the journey. The costumes change Leo’s and Emma’s appearances, granting them a wide array of fantastical powers to overcome obstacles, from the Pumpkin Puncher outfit that lets players smash through enemies or obstacles blocking pathways to the Air Cat costume that allows players to walk in mid-air for a certain amount of time.

The possibilities are endless as you bash your enemies, walk in the air, freeze time and manipulate all kinds of objects with the costumes you collect!

There’s been a wide range of opinions and responses to the demo, and unfortunately at the current stage of development, it simply isn't feasible to reflect every piece of feedback into the game. However, to offer you all a more balanced gameplay experience, we will be implementing a day one patch for the full game.

Specifically, this patch will adjust movement controls, camera movement, and rebalancing of the difficulty.

Balan Wonderworld is an all-new experience from renowned gaming industry talent including Director, Yuji Naka (Sonic the Hedgehog Franchise Creator, Team Sonic Co-Founder) and Character Designer, Naoto Ohshima (Sonic the Hedgehog, Doctor Eggman, Team Sonic Co-Founder). The game marks Yuji Naka and Naoto Ohshima’s first collaboration in 20 years and is the first game from the newly established Balan Company gaming brand. Balan Company brings together talented video game developers, visual artists, and composers to tell the greatest stories and provide the ultimate platformer experiences.  

Balan Wonderworld is available for Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X with support for Smart Delivery and PC (Steam).
