Somerville has been teased with a number of trailers over the past few years, but during yesterday’s Xbox-Bethesda showcase we got another look at the game – and now have some idea of what the main characters will look like.
The sci-fi adventure is being made by Jumpship, an independent studio founded by animator Chris Olsen in collaboration with Playdead co-founder and former CEO Dino Patti. (Playdead created Limbo and its spiritual successor Inside, two very unsettling puzzle-platformers.)
