First, we were given Lucky's Tale VR for the Oculus Rift. It was a typical platformer that you played using your Oculus headset, giving you a very unique view of the game and environment. Then, we had Super Lucky's Tale, a non-VR sequel to the original VR title that came out for the Xbox One and Windows 10. Now, Nintendo Switch owners are about to get New Super Lucky's Tale.
New Super Lucky's Tale is a Nintendo Switch release that is a re-imagining of the original Super Lucky's Tale. It's being worked on by Playful Studios and is looking to be released later this year.
It's being billed as "the definitive Lucky experience, rebuilt from the ground up with revamped content and features."
New Super Lucky’s Tale begins as Lucky is drawn into the magical Book of Ages, which the Guardian Order has tried to keep safe from the mysterious villain known as Jinx. On his quest to return home, Lucky will discover his own connection to the Guardians, meet a hilarious cast of friends and adversaries, and find the strength to defeat Jinx and his crafty progeny, the Kitty Litter.
