During the Triple-I Initiative Showcase, Alabaster Dawn developer Radical Fish Games showed off a brand-new trailer for its upcoming action-RPG, as well as an early-access launch date of May 7 on PC.
The next game from the studio behind the critically acclaimed CrossCode, Alabaster Dawn, is built on CrossCode's foundation of engaging combat and challenging puzzles, with the story taking place in a world that has been warped into a wasteland. As Juno, the Outcast Chosen, players will embark on a quest to restore the land to its former glory.
The real attention-grabber is the visual design powering Alabaster Dawn's adventures, as the game uses a unique 2.5D art style that combines pixel-art visuals with a subtle 3D perspective.
