Bergen, Norway - June 21, in the year of our Lord
2018 - Independent developer Henchman & Goon today
announced that their co-op exploration game, Pode, is now
available on Nintendo Switch™. Bringing the couch co-op
experience back to the living room, Pode takes players on an
exciting adventure where a rock and a fallen star must work
together using their distinct abilities to solve ancient
puzzles. Featuring a stunning art style inspired by Norwegian
culture and musical composition from world-renowned Grammy
award-nominated composer, Austin Wintory, Pode emphasizes themes
of friendship and cooperation as the unlikely traveling
companions meander through a mystical world.
"Today is a very special day, and we couldn’t be more proud of
how Pode has turned out on the Nintendo Switch,” said Yngvill
Hopen, Game Director and CEO at Henchman & Goon. “Inspired by my
own family, the pervasive themes of support, friendship and
cooperation are central to the gameplay, and I hope that it will
give many joyous gaming hours to our fans and new players
alike.”
One of the “Nindies” announced coming to the Nintendo eShop this
year on Nintendo Direct, Pode is a co-op puzzle exploration game
about two unlikely travel companions going on an exploratory
adventure within a mysterious and magical mountain. Through
their unique individual talents they reveal a magical world by
working together to solve puzzles as they traverse the mountain.
Pode is visually inspired by Norwegian art and culture,
resulting in a stunning exploration game supported by an
original soundtrack from Grammy-nominated and two-time
BAFTA-winning composer, Austin Wintory.
