Developer Wishfully and publisher Thunderful have teamed up with the folks at IGN to show off 10 minutes of shiny new footage, and yep – Planet of Lana 2 still looks gorgeous! Check out the gameplay below!
This ten minute video shows off entirely new, industrialised robot graveyard on the planet Novo, and eagle-eyed fans familar with the lore from the first game will spot a familiar symbol. Are these folks forming some sort of cult? Lana and Mui sneak inside, navigating water puzzles and various obstacles and to my surprise find a massive city, under construction.
We’ve seen plenty of settlements and small villages in Planet of Lana before, but never something of this scale. It has my mind racing as to how this has come to be. Does this cult like group have something to do with it? I suspect so!
