Developer Andrew Shouldice has been working on Tunic for years without giving fans I solid release window. However, the Zelda-inspired title featuring a heroic fox is coming in just a few months. The news came out during The Game Awards pre-show, usually reserved for smaller announcements, but, for indie fans, this might be the highlight of the night.
Tunic is set to release on March 16 for Xbox consoles and PC. However, tonight’s trailer had even more secrets to reveal than just the date, including new locales, tools, and enemies. In one previously unseen location, our vulpine sword wielder races across a narrow bridge glowing with neon pink light. Soon after, we see him use a whip-like item that Tunic uses to traverse long distances and bring ranged enemies into striking distance. And it looks like we are going to need all the help we can get because new opponents, like oversized, terrifying spiders are ready to take the protagonist down.
