Publisher, 11 bit studios, and Spanish developers, Inverge Studios and Chibig, invite players to embark on a breathtaking mission in Creatures of Ava. Taking on the life-and-death task of cleansing an all-consuming infection—The Withering—ravaging the planet of Ava is the top priority, but is what’s in the planet’s best interest also aligned with your own best interests? Find out when Creatures of Ava, coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass, launches on Aug. 7th.
Set against a canvas of wholesome and colourful visuals, Creatures of Ava hides a deep narrative—co-written by Rhianna Pratchett—that explores dueling themes of acting with empathy while learning when you may need to let something go. Players take on the role of Vic, a young explorer who finds herself crash-landed on a distant planet alongside her companion, Tabitha. During Vic’s adventure, players will embrace exploration that focuses on taming and saving the many creatures threatened by The Withering while also ensuring the protection of the natural world. The world of Ava is wide open to wandering, helping a myriad of creatures, taking on side quests, and appreciating the beauty of Ava.
Players will journey through four distinct biomes tackling environmental puzzles, unlocking new areas, and capturing the fading beauty of Ava via research photography. By upgrading Vic’s gear and skills, it’s possible to enhance her ability to aid Ava and its inhabitants, while magical flute melodies, learned from the grumpy local inhabitants known as the Naam, let her tame the many living species wandering its terrain.
