Square Enix launched a new trailer for Balan Wonderworld coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC-via Steam on March 26, 2021.

The trailer introduces a new character from the Twelve different stories told throughout the game. Here, we meet Yuri, a young girl who is crazy over bugs and seems to enjoy their company as she collects many of them. However, the people around her seem not to share her interests as she subtly scares them away, and she finds herself alone. Good things she has her bug friends.

Balan Wonderworld has players set off on a journey through Wonderworld guided by an energetic maestro named Balan, who will help players restore balance to the world by clearing it of Negati, a physical manifestation of worry negative emotions.

During gameplay, players can freely explore the world across multiple areas while collecting over 80 unique costumes that assist in various ways. Each costume has a special power, such as a Pumpkin Puncher outfit that allows players to smash through obstacles. There’s also a co-op mode where players can play together.

The team working on Balan Wonderworld includes director Yuji Naka (Sonic the Hedgehog Franchise Creator, Team Sonic Co-Founder), and Character Designer Naoto Ohshima (Sonic the Hedgehog, Doctor Eggman, Team Sonic Co-Founder). This marks the first game the two have worked on together in 20 years.
