Games From Spain News Recap: November 29 – December 5, 2024
Welcome back, regulars and visitors!
One more week of announcements, one less for the end of 2024. December is the quintessential month to look back and feel proud of both the challenges overcome and the successes achieved. This helps us to relativize the bad things and enter the new year with renewed enthusiasm. If the balance is good, we’ll continue to work to keep it that way. If it’s bad… Well, there’s room for improvement!
But the truth is that we are quite happy with the result. The digital side of the Games From Spain project came back to life after a long break, and we’ve shared a lot of great news and special moments with you all. Call us romantics, but that’s magic to us. And we hope to be able to spread it for much longer.
One thing is also clear to us — with so much work to do and so little time to play all the new releases, our backlog will only continue to grow! In addition to the ones we already know, there’ll be many other Spanish video games that will make us all fall in love. In fact, today we’ll mention a couple of them.
So… ahem, we have a favor to ask. In 2025, make us part of your most exciting moments with all these new titles! Tag us in your screenshots and clips on social media, and let’s spread the passion for Spanish games. Together, we can get more people to discover and appreciate them.
That said, we also want to know which games are going to be your last in 2024. Let us know on X as soon as you finish reading this entry. For now, let’s get started with our weekly news roundup!
News
One of Spain’s biggest hits is getting a sequel! Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, developed by Digital Sun Games, is due to be released on Steam in 2025. The brave adventurer Will is back to business and his exciting double life. Of course, you can expect more dungeons, secret treasures and shop-keeping tasks in this direct continuation to the story of Moonlighter. Watch its official trailer!
Publishing and porting studio Hidden Trap, known for the console versions of The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature, Risk System and King Lucas, is debuting on Steam with Tiny Lands 2. This game from Hyper Three Studio challenges players to explore similar dioramas on a split screen and find their differences by using an orbital camera. Doesn’t it sound like the perfect game for a day of relaxation at home? You can even play with your friends or family to make it even more fun.
Tiny Lands 2 is coming to PC next year, no release date has been announced yet. Watch its official announcement at the Wholesome Direct 2024.
Dojo System presented Kaodi, a narrative action adventure game by Outlander Games that explores the consequences of war. Following a warrior named Barren as he returns home after a blasting victory, you’ll explore a kingdom fractured by hate and fear, where violence hasn’t ceased yet, and discover the many scars the conflict left in everyone’s lives. Its monochrome pixel art style and Japanese aesthetics will make you think of faraway lands, but it will give you a lot to think about today’s world.
Koba Studio, the developers behind Narita Boy, shared their decision to self-publish the action platformer Haneda Girl. The team believes that having “total control” will make them “more efficient and fast-responding” after the release of the game, specifically to work on bug fixes and new content (DLCs). At the same time, they announced the first demo for PC will be available during February’s Steam Next Fest.
Abylight Studios teases a new campaign for Citadelum, named The Last Conqueror of Britannia. This land was invaded by the Roman Empire around 43 AD under the rule of Emperor Claudius and is believed to have been fully conquered in 87 AD. We will have to wait to find out what time of this period in England’s history this new content is based on.
New releases
After a long wait, Morkull Ragast’s Rage (Disaster Games, Selecta Play) is now available on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch as physical editions. Its digital edition will arrive on Steam and consoles on January 16, 2025.
In this hilarious game, you’ll control the God of Death and help him escape the underworld to… well, to turn the world into a hell worthy of his reign. The fun part is that Morkull knows he’s in a video game, so he’ll constantly break the fourth wall to communicate with the player, ask for assistance and tell some jokes. He’s the bad guy, so expect to find a lot of dark humor!
In addition to this, it’s worth saying that Morkull Ragast’s Rage has been completely hand-drawn and animated frame by frame to give each character their own personality. Disaster Games really love classic cartoon films.
Little Big Adventure, the classic real-time action game by Adeline Software International, is back with a renewed gameplay, brand new visuals and a wonderful soundtrack! All this in Little Big Adventure – Twinsen’s Quest ([2,21], Microids), which has a physical edition in Spain thanks to Meridiem Games.
On a planetoid with two suns, four species lived in perfect harmony… But that all changed when Dr. FunFrock invented cloning and teleportation, bringing the inhabitants under his total control. End the clone occupation while playing as Twinsen, a model citizen turned fugitive. Armed with a mysterious Magic Ball, players will explore beautiful landscapes, solve intricate puzzles and face formidable foes!
k148 Game Studio and Jandusoft are back with a new installment of the Detective series, DETECTIVE – The Motel. In this first-person investigation game, players will play the detective who just arrived at the crime scene. Explore the open rooms of a typical roadside hotel to reconstruct the facts and solve the case. The difficulty lies in finding out all the information about the crime beyond the identity of the killer, such as the time of the crime and which room each person involved was staying in. If you are curious, try the free demo on Steam.
