Annapurna and Simogo (Year Walk) reveal Sayonara Wild Hearts (Switch), out in 2019
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
God damn, this looks right up my alley. Like a postmodern No More Heroes from Annapurna. I enjoyed Year Walk, too, so that doesn't hurt.
I might be alone, but this could be the most exciting game of the night for me.

i can't say how happy i am about this news. i've been following simogo and their games ever since their very first game, kosmo spin, on ios. they were my absolute favorite mobile developer, made super fun, super polished and super charming games that were just the kinda games i wanted on mobile but weren't that easy to find. over the years i've loved every single game they've put out, and it was so great to see their first console game on the big stage of game awards. i'm so happy for them and will get sayonara day one.

Simogo games I've played are Device 6 and Sailor's Dream... guess I'll dust off my switch next year
you have to play year walk! it's their best game imo, or at least tied with device 6.
they're publishing some amazing games for sure, a great match for simogo
the graphics, art direction and music heavily remind me "YIIK: A Postmodern RPG".
Look very nice and I love the music.

In this day and age it's so refreshing to have a publisher focus on funding high quality, creative and risky games, instead of, you know, derivative and safe stuff designed to shake money out of as many users as possible. I hope it works out for them.
here's how simogo descirbes their game, lol
the game has been in development for four years. also it's coming to other platforms as well. maybe later?

I had to google those band names to see if they were real or made specifically for the game, and I still don't know for sure. Love the concept.
here's the info from the mini-site. everything sounds AMAZING.
A POP ALBUM VIDEO GAME
Sayonara Wild Hearts is a euphoric music video dream about being awesome, riding motorcycles, skateboarding, dance battling, shooting lasers, wielding swords, and breaking hearts at 200 mph.
As the heart of a young woman breaks, the balance of the universe is disturbed. A diamond butterfly appears in her dreams and leads her through a highway in the sky, where she finds her other self: the masked biker called The Fool.
Travelling through futuristic cities, dark forests, and electric deserts, The Fool sets out to find the harmony of the universe, hidden away in the hearts of Little Death and her star crossed allies; Dancing Devils, Howling Moons, Stereo Lovers and Hermit 64.
Play the music in a game where every stage is set to a song of a custom-written pop album, when Sayonara Wild Hearts releases on Nintendo Switch and other platforms in 2019.
We're making Sayonara Wild Hearts with support from
Annapurna Interactive.

they're fictional, made up for the game
we wanted to make a video game that was unashamed of being a video game.
here are the official screenshots, the game looks so good
it also should be noted that the game is made by a super tiny team. two main devs (the guys in the pic), two extra programmers, plus the composer and vocalist.
