We’ve been (im)patiently waiting for developer Shedworks’ Sable since it was first announced way back in 2018. There are so many games out there, with so many styles, that calling something a “unique look” really means something. Sable, somehow, meets 2021 standards of unique. Its spare cel-shaded visuals are rendered in a style inspired by iconic sci-fi artist Moebius, and the results are great:
Imagine an entire open world to explore that looks like this. We don’t have to imagine — it’s nearly here. Shedworks and publisher Raw Fury are finally ready to put this thing out…they’ve announced a release date of September 23.
- Explore at your own pace. You’re free to glide, climb, and travel on foot as you desire.
- Drive and customize your own unique hoverbike.
- Meet other nomads and discover secrets and collectibles around the world.
- Solve puzzles — or don’t! It’s up to you what you want to do.
- Experience an incredible original soundtrack by hit indie artist Japanese Breakfast.
Sable will mainly be a PC experience, sold through Steam, the Epic Games Store, GoG and The Humble Store. The console version will be an XBox exclusive, on both versions (One and X/S). In fact, you can play Sable as soon as tomorrow in the form of a demo. It’ll be available June 15 on XBox and June 16 on PC.
