When Nintendo originally launched its downloadable WiiWare service, one of the first games to grab everyone's attention was the beautiful platformer LostWinds. And though plans for a sequel were revealed soon after the game's release, it's been a while since we've heard any news. But now developer Frontier has officially announced the next entry in the series, LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias.
The sequel will once again have players controlling the wind as they aid a young boy on his quest to destroy an evil curse, though it will add new gameplay mechanics to help keep things fresh. The biggest is the ability to switch between the summer and winter seasons, which will more than likely play a big part in the puzzle solving throughout the game. There are also new wind abilities, such as the cyclone, which can act as both an attack and a form of transportation.
Story-wise, Winter of the Melodias will take place soon after the first game, as Toku sets off in search of his missing mother, only to come across a town plagued with perpetual winter and hidden monsters.
Unfortunately, Frontier has given no indication on when we can expect to actually play the game, saying only that it's "coming soon." Stay tuned to OT, or follow the game's official website, for more details as they arise.
