Forma.8
Forma.8 from young Italian developer MixedBag promises to bring a science-fiction, Metroidvania-style game to PlayStation 4, Vita, and Wii U.
In the game, players take on the role of scanning probe that lost contact with its companions, and must explore an alien planet on its own. The world is physics-based, and offers a large explorable world full of secrets and power-ups. MixedBag is also says to expect a mysterious story all delivered without dialogue. For more on the game, check out its announcement post on the PlayStation blog.
You can watch the trailer for the game below, which recalls the unrelated game Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, a game we think highly of.

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.
