Rain World<\/em>, a very atmospheric cult classic platformer from Videocult, will finally be released on Nintendo Switch 2 when its Anthology Edition<\/em> launches. During indie publisher Akupara Games’ first game showcase, we also learned that Rain World Anthology Edition<\/em> will get a physical release and received updates on several other upcoming indie titles.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you haven’t played Videocult’s Rain World<\/em> before, it’s a very interesting blend of a cinematic, Limbo<\/em>-like puzzle platformer with a survival game. You control a slugcat exploring a post-apocalyptic world, and have to forage for food, fight other animals, and reach hibernation spots before deadly rain kills you. While Rain World’s<\/em> constant tension and difficulty mean it’s not for everyone, those who love it really<\/em> adore it, cementing its status as a cult classic.<\/p>\n Rain World Anthology Edition<\/em> bundles the game together with its two expansions, Downpour <\/em>and The Watcher<\/em>, for a physical release. PS5 and Nintendo Switch versions will be released, but Akupara Games is also taking this opportunity to bring the game to Nintendo Switch 2 and release it physically on that platform. It’s working with Serenity Forge to produce a standard edition, which will have an embossed slip cover, and a Collector’s Edition that contains an art book, scarf, keychain, standee, sticker sheet, and soundtrack.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While Rain World: Anthology Edition<\/em> was the most notable reveal from the Akupara Direct, it wasn’t the only one. Videocult confirmed that Airframe Ultra<\/em>, the studio’s next game, will launch on Nov. 5. Cryptmaster <\/em>developers Paul Hart and Lee Williams announced Bonespire<\/em>, a “crafting simulation” game set in a wizard tower. Retro platformer Aokaki<\/em> and a desktop companion app, Working with Montabi<\/em>, were also announced.<\/p>\n As for updates on games we already know about, the showcase highlighted that the second episode of Kumitantei: Old Slaughter<\/em> will hit Steam on Nov. 12, and we got a new trailer and demo for The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon<\/em>. Overall, it was a very solid debut indie showcase for Akupara Games, and it’s giving me an excuse to revisit Rain World<\/em> soon.<\/p>\n\n What else was announced at the Akupara Direct?
