Publisher Jetpack Collective joins forces with Snowcastle Games, the indie dev squad from Oslo, to drop a fresh dev commentary video on their latest game, Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure. Slated for release on November 9th for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, and a Switch launch following up, this co-op adventure rings in at $24.99 (£20.99). Steam users can also jump in for free with a friend via the recently introduced Ikonei Island: Friends’ Pass.
The newly released developer commentary doesn’t just talk; it reveals. The video delves into the fusion of farming joyrides and unique homebuilding. Whether you’re envisioning a rustic cottage surrounded by a garden or a campsite flanked by an expansive farm, Ikonei Island has the tools to turn that dream into pixel reality. Your canvas? Lush gardens and comfy interiors that scream “home.”
Venture deeper into Ikonei Island by upgrading the main hamlet, unlocking machinery like smelters when you bring the blacksmith into play. Transmute those hard-earned ores into valuable ingots and give your home that metal sheen it deserves.
Let’s not forget the co-op factor. Team up with your squad or go lone wolf to explore the island’s beauty, befriend magical critters, unlock their abilities, and uncover hidden secrets. With a vibe that echoes Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and My Time at Portia, Ikonei Island adds another layer by incorporating elements from Snowcastle’s original Earthlock universe.
Currently accessible through Steam’s Early Access, Ikonei Island will soon make its grand appearance on the Epic Game Store, PlayStation, and Xbox come November 9th. Nintendo Switch fans, hang tight; your turn is coming.
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Microsoft Windows
