An open-world adventure across a beautiful, vibrant island is heading to PlayStation 4 this July 18th in Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles with the official PS4 launch trailer video below!
Here's more from Prideful Sloth Co-founder and Lead Designer Cheryl Vance, to quote:
"Yonder is the game we’ve dreamed of playing since we first picked up a controller. It’s set on the massive island of Gemea, a lush frontier with eight distinct environments ranging from sunny, tropical beaches to frigid, snow capped summits.
Each location has its own flora and fauna, along with changing seasons and a day-night cycle. Gemea was once a perfect paradise, but an evil murk has enshrouded the land and its people in despair.
We craved a game world that felt relaxed and familiar. Yonder would be a game you could pick up, step into, and feel as if you are home. We wanted it to be as comfortable and inviting as possible.
It’s a game you can play at your own pace; not everything is required. We wanted to give players freedom with what they do in the game, and how they achieved their goals.
In Yonder, it’s unmistakably you that’s the hero or heroine, so what you should look like or how you dress is never dictated or restricted. It’s totally up to you. Carrying an extra pound or two after Thanksgiving? Yeah, we hear you.
Your avatar can reflect that. Feel like rocking a handlebar mustache or a floral skirt? Your character can get down with that (even in combination). You’ll discover a whole load of items to make your hero or heroine uniquely “you.”
Animals — or critters, as we prefer to call them on the island — were always going to be a big part of the game. From the lumbering herd of Groffles to the cute-as-a-marshmallow-cloud Fabbits, you’ll find a host of adorable-but-useful critters in Yonder.
With an enormous island to explore and a whole host of locals to befriend, you’ll find yourself learning a wide array of new skills. Fishing, carpentry, and even brewing will help you as you solve the mysteries on the island of Gemea in the hope of finding your way home again.
Tame a Fabbit as a personal pet. Set up a farm and use Groffle milk to make cheese to trade with the locals. Grow your own crops, barter in the open market or craft your own goods from...

PlayStation fans of games like Portal may want to check out the new first-person platformer DeadCore by Grip Digital which blends exploration, speedrunning and puzzles!
Below is the official DeadCore PS4 launch trailer, and to quote from their page: After falling endlessly through powerful magnetic storms you wake up in a desolate world. Your memory erased, you start exploring this place surrounded by void as cryptic messages appear around you.
Suddenly, you spot a gigantic Tower emerging from the mists. You soon understand that in order to find the answers you need, you must climb all the way to the top.
Equipped with a 'SwitchGun', a special weapon allowing you to activate or deactivate the Tower elements, you set off on a perilous journey full of traps, complex mechanisms, gaps to cross, and lethal foes, a journey that will eventually allow you to solve the mystery surrounding this strange and abstract world...
DeadCore is strongly focused on speedrunning: every level has at least 2 main paths and several secret passages you have to find to optimize your time. It also features a special Speedrun mode with dedicated maps you can unlock by finding ‘Sparks’ hidden in the main levels.
As you progress through the stages, you find power-ups that grant you new abilities and allow you to reach new locations. There are also many types of collectibles to find that unlock new content such as narrative logs, new maps, new music tracks, and much more!
Explore a mysterious world made of immense and staggering levels with a labyrinth of secret passages to discover
Unlock new powers and upgrades in order to gain access to new areas of the Tower
Reveal the secrets of the Tower by collecting fragments of memory from its former inhabitants as well as new levels and music for Speedrun mode
Challenge your friends to see who can top our online leaderboards in Speedrun mode where every hundredth of a second counts
