The team behind one of 2021's best RPGs is making a 3D Zelda-like and it already looks great
The Unsighted devs🌺 switch perspectives for the next one

Following on from existentia♛lly crushing RPG Unsighted, thꦆe studio is now pivoting to an entirely different genre.
Studio Pixel Punꦑk broke out onto the scene with one of 2021’s bestest games: Unsighted, a top-down action RPG that has you racing against the clock to save your fellow robo-friends and yourself. It’s emoti﷽onally effective, stuffed with new ideas, and also has fluid combat to boot. That’s also why I’ll pay attention to anything the team does next, and thankfully they’ve already started teasing.
Developer Tiani Pixel took to Twitter this week to post clips from the team’s upcoming adventure, which already looks like a great Zelda-like. Unsighted’s 2D per𝐆spective gets swapped for a third-person camera view, as our hopefully-soon-to-be protagonist explores some dungeons. Take a look at some early snippets 𝐆below.

“Exploring a mysterious dungeon,” Pixel writes on Twitter while introducing the untitled game that’s “inspired by early 3D Zelda games and Mega Man Legends.” On 𒁏the Zelda front, you have your usual block-pushing, puzzle-solving, and sword-swinging combat. But things have been given some extra flair as well.
One snippet has our protagonist scaling the dungeon with double jumps (gasp!) and parkour wall-running usually reserved for platformers or Jet Set Radio. Other videos also show the character wielding a giant greatsword and a﷽ hammer buzzing with electricity - two tools that are certainly un-Zelda, only making me more excited.
There’s not much else to gather f🍎rom the teases, but if Pixel Punk’s upcཧoming game can squeeze out half the emotion that Unsighted did, then I’ll definitely be in tears by the end.
