Publisher Atari and developer Ilex Games have announced that their new Metroidvania game, Adventure of Samsara, will launch on September 4. The game, which is inspired by the original Atari 2600 title Adventure, will be available on a wide range of platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and GOG.
According to Atari, Adventure of Samsara is a mysterious, 2D Metroidvania action-adventure that captures the spirit of the original game while taking it in a completely new direction. With its beautiful pixel art, the title combines classic gameplay with a deeply connected world and a complex story about death, rebirth, and memory.
As you battle your way through diverse, interconnected biomes and confront powerful mutant bosses, you will unlock new abilities and upgrades. Each of these will reveal deeper layers of the game’s cosmic story, which actually lives in the same spiritual landscape as the original Adventure, full of its core elements of exploration, curiosity, and hidden secrets.
It is not a remake or a sequel, but rather a new game that encourages you to look for subtle nods to the very first Adventure game. There are plenty of Easter Eggs to discover, with familiar structures, enemies, and references that reward both new and returning players. You can also find collectible items hidden in hard-to-reach places to improve your stats and get special augments that enhance your abilities and skills.
