June 10th, 2016 – Wroclaw, Poland/... Techland
Publishing is proud to announce its collaboration with inXile
Entertainment to globally publish the retail version of
Torment: Tides of Numenera. The science-fantasy RPG is
scheduled for a PC release in the first quarter of 2017.
Developed by inXile Entertainment,
the renowned studio led by industry icon Brian Fargo,
Torment: Tides of Numenera
is the first title announced by
Techland as part of its move into the international games
publishing. Furthermore, the boxed edition of the game will be
enhanced with a number of physical and digital bonuses that will
ease players into the unique world of Numenera and further increase
their immersion in the story.
‘I’ve been impressed with
Techland and am pleased to be collaborating with them’
– says Brian Fargo, inXile Entertainment CEO. ‘Bringing
a game of such scope and depth to the international market is a
major undertaking, and we wanted to be sure we partnered with
professionals who knew how to cater to the global community.
Techland has been a great partner and their track record has
convinced us they are the people we want to have at our side.'
Torment: Tides of Numenera
is the highly-anticipated thematic
successor to one of the best RPGs of all time -
Planescape: Torment.
The game has already amassed a
dedicated following as shown by it being one of the three
most-funded Kickstarter games to date. Bringing back the golden era
of RPGs, the game features a deep, thematically satisfying story
set in a world unlike any other – Earth a billion years in
the future. On top of a thought-provoking narrative and a novel
take on turn-based combat,
Torment: Tides of Numenera
offers hundreds of meaningful,
game-changing choices that ensure no playthrough is ever the
same.
Key features:
·
A World Unlike Any Other
-- journey across the Ninth World, a
fantastic, original setting, with awe-inspiring visuals, offbeat
and unpredictable items to use in and out of battle, and stunning
feats of magic.
·
A Rich, Personal Narrative
-- thoughtful and character-driven,
the story is epic in feel but deeply personal in substance. The
philosophical underpinnings of Torment drive the game both
mechanically and narratively.
·
Reactivity, Replayability and the
Tides
-- your choices matter, and morality
in the Ninth World is not a simple matter of “right”
and “wrong”. Torment is a deeply replayable experience
that arises naturally from your actions throughout the
game.
·
A New Take on Combat
-- plan your way through
hand-crafted set-pieces which combine battles with environmental
puzzles, social interaction, stealth, and more.
