Rime Re-Revealed for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch

We'll have much more on Rime all month long with IGN First!

By Ryan McCaffrey

Intriguing action/adventure/puzzle game Rime, which was first unveiled as a PS4 exclusive at Gamescom 2013 before going radio silent about a year later, has been re-revealed as a multiplatform game due out in May 2017.

Rime will now be released for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

As you can see in the re-reveal gameplay trailer above, Rime retains its distinct cartoon-like look and its intriguing vibe, which reminds us a bit of a combination of Zelda: Wind Waker, The Last Guardian, and The Witness. It will now be released for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Tequila Works describes Rime as "a single-player puzzle adventure about discovery, experienced through the eyes of a young boy who awakens on a mysterious island after shipwrecking off its coast. Players must navigate the island’s secrets by making use of light, sound, perspective and even time. Inspired by the rugged, sunbaked terrain of the Mediterranean coast, Rime paints its breathtaking world with a fusion of vibrant colors and moving musical undertones to set the stage for the deeply personal journey that awaits within."

Our IGN Spain team visited developer Tequila Works (whose previous game, Deadlight, was part of 2012's Xbox Summer of Arcade promotion and earned a very favorable review from IGN) to play Rime and discuss the project with the developers – including what happened with Sony and what has been happening with the game since. We'll be bringing you that coverage all January long, so be sure to check back regularly for gameplay videos, hands-on impressions, interviews with Tequila Works, and more!
