New Virtual Reality Game Winds and Leaves Coming to PlayStation VR
PlayStation has announced a brand new PS VR game headed exclusively to the device in the near future. Winds & Leaves is currently being developed by Trebuchet Studio, the team behind the Steam and PS VR game Prison Boss VR.
In both a YouTube announcement trailer and a blog post, PlayStation today announced Winds & Leaves, a PS VR exclusive. In the game, players are stranded in a barren landscape, but through exploration and experimentation, the world can be built up by planting vegetation; therefore bringing life.
While some PS VR games provide parkour fun and or fast-paced action, Wind & Leaves--which is set to be released in Spring of 2021--looks to be very much laid back. The game is described as being contemplative and as a simulation in its design. Players will grab tools, pick up fruit, dig holes in the ground, plant seeds, and watch plants and trees grow to maturity. The barren wasteland soon becomes a deep forest. It is all also designed to feel like second nature with the PS VR and the controls of the PS Move.
Trebuchet Studio also got creative with movement in the game, as players use wooden stilts to get from point A to point B. According to the developer, the mood of the game is influenced by an animated short film named "The Man Who Planted Trees," which is an old French-Canadian piece about an old man who spends his whole life growing a forest; planting one tree at a time. 2020 was a strong year for VR video games, but 2021 is shaping up to be a nice year as well. Winds & Leaves has an opportunity to supplant itself as a contender among the top VR titles.
Winds & Leaves is headed to PS VR in spring of 2021.
