Somerville game gets surprise November release date on Xbox, PC, Game Pass

SomervilleJumpship’s debut title, “The Jumpship” will launch next month. The announcement was made by the developer Thursday. The game’s impending release on Xbox platforms and Windows PC is something of a surprise — even though it Was scheduled for 2022 — given that the last we heard of Somerville came more than 10 months ago, in the form of the game’s fourth teaser trailer. (The game’s development blog also hasn’t been updated since 2018.)

Jumpship describes Somerville as a sci-fi adventure “grounded in the intimate repercussions of a large-scale conflict.” Players will explore perilous terrain in an effort to uncover the mystery of an alien life force that has come to Earth and reunite their family. The game is still a lot of mystery and it seems to be better because of that.

SomervilleIt has been compared to other games such as LimboAnd InsideThis is likely due to Dino Patti (co-founder, former CEO, of developer for those games) executive producing the game. Chris Olsen, animator, is behind the game. SomervilleJumpship founder and Jumpship writer/director.
