Gibbon: Across The Copse is a gorgeous 2nd tree-swinging adventure

Jungle skateboarding

Gibbon: Across The Copse is a 2d adventure in which you swing between treetops and slide downward branches like Disney's Tarzan or an arboreal skateboarder. It's Gibbon's Pro Skater. GibbonGibbon World. It's from the creators of Old Man's Journey and looks similarly gorgeous, and information technology's due out in early 2022. Spotter the announce trailer below.

I feel I say this twice a week, but grappling hooks actually are the best things in video games, and gibbons are basically nature's grapple hookers. Their long arms are just short grappling hooks.

Described every bit a "paw-drawn ecological risk," Gibbon: Across The Trees tells an 60 minutes-long story that moves from jungles to cities and incorporates issues such as deforestation, poaching and climate change.

The core of the feel is mastering its movement system, whereby you swing from branches to build momentum and can perform special moves similar swinging from other gibbon'south in mid-air. Alongside the story mode in that location's also a procecurally generated "liberation mode" you can play to refine your swinging and sliding.

I tin can't quite tell from the trailer how you lot're controlling that movement system - how much input is involved in swinging your way along a co-operative, for example. Gibbon: Across The Trees will launch on Apple Arcade first, on February 25th, which maybe suggests its not super-involved in terms of button presses.

After its Apple debut, Gibbon will arrive on Steam (and Switch) old in early 2022. You can wishlist information technology on Steam now. If you lot missed their previous work, Old Man'south Journey is still well worth checking out.
