Knytt is a popular freeware platform game designed entirely by independent developer Nicklas Nygren, better known to the PC gaming community as Nifflas. To this point, all of the Knytt games have been freeware noted for their minimalism. But the next game in the series is getting a graphical upgrade… and coming to consoles.
Knytt Underground follows the tiny creature as he goes underground. Unlike previous games in the series, Nifflas will be fleshing out the story a bit more and giving it some weight.
"It's about the big questions; trying to understand life and our place in it – and failing completely."
It's like Mario, only existential!
There will also be a version for PCs, but the Sony consoles will get exclusive content not available anywhere else. We'll be curious to see how Nifflas' adorable little chunk of pixels reacts when it gets to the big time, and hopefully this is just the first of his console games.
Press Release:
Indie game developer Nifflas and production company Green Hill are pleased to announce the creation of a strategic partnership with Ripstone Publishing that will bring the latest version of the critically acclaimed Knytt PC platformer game Knytt Underground to download on console.
Knytt Underground, the sequel to the massively popular Knytt and Knytt Stories, is the next stage in the well-liked series, with the original boasting over 1 million downloads globally. The exciting platform game offers gamers exploration in an infinitely breathtaking atmosphere and will be available on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita later this year.
Green Hill will develop the new game in conjunction with Nifflas. The alliance with Ripstone and Nifflas will further advance Green Hill's strategy to collaborate with great developers and to liaise between all stakeholders, to make the best games possible.
