Double Fine has announced that Broken Age will launch on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita on April 29.
The game has been masterminded by the same team who developed the cult classic Grim Fandango, and was born from a successful Kickstarter program. Broken Age features the talents of Tim Schafer and Peter Chan among others.
Here’s the official blurb, straight from the EU PlayStation Blog.
“Broken Age tells the story of Vella and Shay, a girl and boy from completely different worlds who seem to be leading strangely parallel lives…
Vella has been chosen by her village to have the honour of being sacrificed to the terrible monster Mog Chothra, but having no interest in being devoured by a horrible beast, must go against ages old tradition and make her escape. Meanwhile somewhere in space, Shay is living a solitary life under the care of a very motherly computer, and whilst his every need is taken care of in every way imaginable, he wishes for nothing more than to break free from the monotonous safety of his daily life, and have some real adventures.
Shay is played by Elijah Wood from Lord of the Rings, and Vella by Masasa Moyo who played Sarah in Team America. We also managed to convince Jack Black, Jennifer Hale and Pendleton Ward to speak into microphones for us, so they’re in the game too!”
