This game’s journey is fascinating
I’m sure you rememberRime. It was revealed several years ago, and its big claim to fame is that it looked likeIco, and was compared toWind Wakerby the developers. Well, it’s had a really interesting lifecycle.
Initially, it was offered as an exclusive to Microsoft, but was eventually rejected. Then Sony took it under its wing, and although the details clearly are under NDA (besides the fact that they wanted the IP back), developer Tequila Works seemed to have a bad experience, and re-acquired the rights toRimeback in March 2016. Now, they’re aiming to release it on basically everything, and have officially secured a publisher for a 2017 release.

Here’s the catch — it’s been rated inBrazilandAustraliafor PC, PS4, Xbox One, and…Switch. Switch? Poor Wii U! AlthoughDeadlightdoesn’t instill much confidence, I’m hopeful forRime— at the very least it’s been a fun ride following its creation.
