Laika Believes "will be released in episodic form
This is because, they explain the boys Minicore, it will be a very broad title with a skill tree, much ramified and a non-linear level structure and very complex: the kind of membership is in fact the one defined in the jargon "metroidvania", to which belongs the beautiful Shadow Complex and characterized by very intricate maps which the player can freely explore several times as they buy new abilities. Similar views, ambitions developers have preferred to divide the game into three blocks issued at regular intervals, in order to have more time to devote to each of these; the story also lends itself well to such an operation since it presents some turning points where you can place the beginning of several episodes.
The game is expected to make his first appearance at PAX Prime (31 August-2 September), and on that occasion we should be able to show you the first gameplay footage.
