Puppeteer
Update: We've embedded the trailer from the PlayStation Blog story.
Realism certainly has its place in the gaming ecosystem, but when an aesthetic style like the one in Sony Japan Studio's Puppeteer comes along, it's hard not to take notice. We’ve got two new screenshots and the box art for the title, which will be released on September 10, 2013.
The images feature two of the four hero heads at players’ disposal. Yes, you read that correctly. Heads. The title stars a boy named Kutaro, who finds himself kidnapped by the evil Moon Bear King (not to be confused with ManBearPig), transformed into a puppet, and separated from his cranium. Oh, and his head is eaten by the nefarious ruler.
In addition to his magical scissors, he’ll be able to call upon the shield-bearing Moon Knight (no relation to the Marvel character) and bomb-tossing Moon Ninja, each offering up special skills, terrain-altering abilities, and access to hidden bonus stages. If all of that sounds like something you’re interested in, you’ll also be happy to learn that the title comes with a budget price tag ($39.99).
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
