Another World Coming To iOS

The classic game that American gamers know as Out of This World is on its way to iPhone and iPad.

Developer DotEmu is handling the transfer of the game to this new platform, and the development team seems to have the blessing of the original creator to move forward. "I'm very pleased to work with my developer friends from DotEmu and their partner BulkyPix. The first prototype looks beautiful on iPad, they are doing a great job on it."

This new announcement comes as great news for fans of the game. Since its original release in 1991, Another World (Out of This World) has gained a cult following for its ingenious and cinematic storytelling, which used the characters' actions and body movements to communicate a tale of depth and excitement. It also happened to be a great platforming experience.

Chahi is hard at work these days working with Ubisoft. He's heading up the team that will shortly release From Dust on XBLA, PSN, and PC. From Dust was originally announced at last year's E3 under the name Project Dust.

I owned this game on the SNES and I loved it. I had to call the Nintendo helpline to get through it the first time. I'll pick this up for nostalgia's sake alone.

This game scared the pants off of me as a kid... I'm willing to see if I wet them again.

I loved that game on SNES. They should release this on PSN OR XBLA, I would buy it in a heart beat.

What is this game?
by Justin Marxer Friday, March 04, 2011 at 01:20 AM

This game actually used to scare the hell out of me as a kid, the feeling of isolation it provides
by Akhrod Friday, March 04, 2011 at 05:13 AM

I used to play this on my Amiga 500 and has been one of my favorite games ever. It's stuck in my memory since then.
