SPEAR is a new 2.5D action platformer coming to Xbox

Indie developer, Andrea Cavuoto announced that SPEAR will launch on January 9th for Xbox Series X|S.

SPEAR is a fast-paced 2.5D action-platformer set in a digital world collapsing under the weight of countless bugs. Players step into the role of Default, a forgotten NPC armed with an improvised spear built from a broom and the mouse cursor. His mission? Defeat the bugs, fix the glitches, and save the project before the developers return from lunch and delete everything. The announcement is accompanied by a brand-new trailer, offering a first look at the abilities Default will unlock while traversing a variety of increasingly corrupted levels.

Featuring precision throws, slow-motion, teleportation, parries, gliding, and more, SPEAR pays homage to the golden age of platformers while enhancing it with a modern, fluid, and surprisingly technical combat system.

“We’ve spent years fighting real bugs… so we decided to make a game about it,” jokes Andrea Cavuoto, founder and game director of Polyhedric. “Default is the only character unlucky enough to be in the wrong project at the wrong time, but also brave enough to try and save it. We can’t wait to see how Xbox players take on the monstrous Glitches we’ve unleashed.”
