Devolver Digital has announced The Plucky Squire, a new adventure worked on by former Pokémon art director James Turner.

Check out the trailer below:

The description reads:

“The Plucky Squire follows the magical adventures of Jot and his friends—storybook characters who discover a three-dimensional world outside the pages of their book. When the malevolent Humgrump realizes he’s the villain of the book—destined to lose his battle against the forces of good for all eternity—he kicks the heroic Jot out of its pages and changes the story forever.

“Jump between 2D and 3D worlds in this charming action adventure – solving puzzles, boxing badgers, flying with a jetpack, and enjoying many more delightful and surprising mini challenges as you become the hero of a living storybook.”

As you can see, the game looks very quaint. And it’s also reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. That game also gave us the ability to switch between 2-D and 3-D play. All Possibly Futures is the studio developing the new game, and it is coming out next year. It’s scheduled for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2023. But Devolver hasn’t given a specific release date.
