Sci-Fi Adventure ‘Xel’ Gameplay Revealed in Trailer for PC and Console Release

Assemble Entertainment announced that the Tiny Roar-developed sci-fi adventure Xel will be coming to PC and consoles in 2022.

Xel is inspired by the Zelda series and features various biomes for players to explore. The game is colorful and vibrant as you assume the role of Reid on her adventure to reclaim her memory of a previous life. Reid travels down this rabbit hole that leads her to a bizarre new land full of secrets, puzzles, and a not-so-stable sense of time.

During gameplay, players will explore an overworld with challenging dungeons through some class adventure features. During her quest, Reid will meet charming, enduring characters, engage in thrilling combat, and of course, find and upgrade a whole bevy of nifty weapons, items, gadgets, and moves — some of which may help her jump through space and time.

The publisher also released a trailer showing off some pre-alpha gameplay footage. Viewers get the chance to check out some of the different environments and enemies that will need to be taken down. Further, we get a chance to see the top-down camera angle found in dungeons in action, which was wholly inspired by classic adventure games.

We’ll keep you updated on the development of Xel.
