Non-PlayStation owners need not fear though, as the game is also coming to Xbox Series X/S, the Nintendo Switch, and PCs on the same aforementioned date, alongside the PlayStation 5.
Personally, I’ve been excited for this game ever since I readChris Tapsell’s write upon it back in June for Eurogamer.
Chris referred to it as one of the “most joyful” experiences he’d “had in video games for a little while”.
He went on to describe it as a “top-down Zelda-like adventure” where you fight “little enemy blobs with your sword or using a nice little throw-and-recall system for it like a manually-summoned boomerang”.

The Zelda comparison seems extremely apt here, as some of the gameplay in The Plucky Squire looks very similar to something likeThe Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
To clarify, that’s a massive compliment and not an allegation of unoriginality. We need more games likeA Link Between Worlds, not less.
James Turner, founder of the developer All Possible Futures, does have some former experience with Nintendo too.
Turner worked as an art designer on multiplePokemontitles and the platformerHarmoKnightat Game Freak before moving on to found All Possible Futures, alongside Curve Digital’s former design director Jonathan Biddle in 2019.
