Tim Schafer’s beloved studio was very recently bought up by Microsoft, yet before all their product becomes Xbox-exclusive there are still a couple in the pipeline going multi-platform.

This isometric title is drenched heavily in the aesthetic of early 90s pulp, as you take control of a bat-wielding teen charting across a post-apocalyptic world. Rogue-like, survival and action gameplay tropes are also thrown into the mix.

On paper, it doesn’t sound that original but Double Fine has never released a title that's just a carbon copy of trends. Expect this game to deliver the trademark humour, involving story and solid mechanics of their past titles.
