In our June preview, we hailed Neva as a “grand achievement in emotional game design,” and the latest trailer emphasizes that even more. Revealed in the latest Nintendo Direct stream, Neva is set to release on October 15th on the Switch, as well as on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S. Developed by Nomada Studio, the creators of the acclaimed Gris, Neva promises a mix of action and potential heartbreak as it tells the story of Alba, a young woman bound to a wolf cub after a traumatic encounter with dark forces. Engadget’s Jessica Conditt praised the emotional depth of the game in her hands-on preview, noting the powerful bond between Neva and Alba that is sure to resonate with players.
