Balan Wonderworld is the new 3D action-platformer from Nights creator Yuji Naka

The preshow for today’s Xbox Games Showcase revealed Yuji Naka’s Balan Wonderworld, a 3D action-platformer that is coming to Xbox Series X and Xbox One during spring 2021.

Yuji Naka made his name at Sega, where he was the lead programmer for the original Sonic the Hedgehog. But he was also the producer for Nights Into Dreams for the Saturn, and Balan Underworld’s colorful world looks like it’s taking some inspiration from that game.
