Dust: An Elysian Tail Promised For Release This Year

Dust: An Elysian Tail was shown off when Xbox Live Indie Games were first being brought about in 2009. That is where the game was meant to release, but upon winning the Dream Play Build Challenge, Microsoft offered developer Humble Hearts a contract to release the game on Xbox Live Arcade.

We haven't heard much of it since then, but Dean Dodrill, the developer of the game, recently said on Neogaf that he promised the game would release this year. That is good news, because Dust looks super slick. Check out some of the gameplay below.

based solely on the pic at the top of the article, this game is seriously going to appeal to furrys
EDIT: ok after watching that video this is a day one purchase for me, that animation style is beautiful

Looks like Disney met with Devil May Cry.

That looks pretty impressive.

Did I just see a Neo Pet go all Devil May Cry on some other Neo Pets??? Seriously though, this is the first I've heard of this game. I think it looks pretty good.

It does look pretty slick. Too bad it has a stupid pun in the title. :P

This side scrolling action is something I can get into. Looks great so far.

Reminds me of Muramasa: The Demon Blade :)

It's insane that some indie developers pump out games that look like VVVVVV or Super Meat Boy, when others (singlehandedly) can produce art of this quality. Absolutely stunning. Wish it were coming to PSN.

Looks like quite a treat. :)
by SixEyes Tuesday, January 03, 2012 at 03:18 PM

This looked boring, then i saw the trailer. This game is beautiful.
by Wes Carroll Tuesday, January 03, 2012 at 03:26 PM

This looks intriguing, I might actually get some points for this.

having that little orange character flying behind the blue main character reminded me of sonic lol
by awwnuts07 Tuesday, January 03, 2012 at 04:06 PM

Holy shiiiiiiiit!!!! That looks amazing. Looks like Vanillaware has some serious competition. This is definitely on my radar now.
by Calgary Tuesday, January 03, 2012 at 04:12 PM

Its like Redwall but all anime.
by sinkheadhxc Tuesday, January 03, 2012 at 04:23 PM

holy doo doo
by nethrelm Tuesday, January 03, 2012 at 04:26 PM

The animation is gorgeous!
by MoronicGenius Tuesday, January 03, 2012 at 04:46 PM

Geez, I'd buy it for the gorgeous animation alone.
by Allen Tuesday, January 03, 2012 at 04:50 PM

This kind of reminds me of Castlevania. At least, some of the darker scenes it shows, and the way the main character runs and stops.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Not liking the main character for some reason. I like the animation, but the colors seems to happy and pastel. As I said, there are some darker scenes which are cool, but going from fighting demons on a cliff in the rain to running through a forest with deer is just kind off-putting. It looks like they had a sweet dark game and then decided to lighten it up a bit. Maybe it's the other way around, I'm not sure. Still, I'm not sure I like the fusion. I'll wait to see more of the game though, since it does look like a lot of fun.

That that.....I don't even know what to say. It was freaking gorgeous.
