Planet of Lana is an upcoming cinematic side-scroller that looks every bit as enchanting as it sounds mysterious. Set to arrive on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on Xbox Game Pass this Spring, its developer, Wishfully Studios, looks set to take us on an intriguing journey across a beautiful sci-fi world known as Novo. As an11-year-old girl called Lana, we’ll be joined by Mui, a little cat-like creature who becomes our helpful companion. After the fishing village she calls home is overrun by “cold machines”, as creative director and co-founder Adam Stjärnljus puts it during an ID@Xbox preview event, the pair must work together to save Lana’s older sister and the people of the village. With a look at ten minutes of gameplay, it immediately gives off Studio Ghibli vibes, with a gorgeous hand-painted art style and dreamy music from The Last Guardian composer Takeshi Furukawa.
