Another World is DotEmu’s latest retro remake, hits Nintendo Switch in April

DotEmu has brought retro titles like Windjammers and Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap to modern consoles, and its newest old project is Éric Chahi’s 1991 classic adventure game Another World. It’s coming to the Nintendo Switch next month with its original look and an option to play in HD.

Another World is a sci-fi adventure starring physicist Lester Knight Chaykin. Stranded on an alien planet, he encounters strange creatures and solves puzzles as he attempts to survive. It’s a game that is deliberately mysterious, offering the player no hints or heads-up display to help them figure out their next move. Its impact is far-reaching, inspiring games such as Ico and Metal Gear Solid.
