Press release:
Gothenburg, Sweden – May 3rd, 2023.
The Gothenburg-based (Sweden) indie games publisher/developer Thunderful Publishing and indie games developer Wishfully Studios, today announced with great thrill and joy that their cinematic puzzle adventure game “Planet of Lana”, is coming to PC (via Steam) and Xbox (Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One) via digital stores on May 23rd, 2023.

The game will also be available day one via Xbox Game Pass for Game Pass subscribers.

Appearing on over 40 “most anticipated” lists, including from the likes of IGN, Gamespot, Eurogamer, Polygon, Kotaku, Rock Paper Shotgun, Time and Game Informer, Planet of Lana is one of the most anticipated indie titles of recent years, drawing attention for its stunning art style, rousing soundtrack from D.I.C.E. and BAFTA-nominated composer Takeshi Furukawa, and unique companion based mechanics.

Set on an alien world, Planet of Lana tells the story of Lana and her loyal animal companion Mui as they embark on a rescue mission to save her sister. Blending an epic story that takes you on a spectacular journey across stunning natural landscapes with a touching personal relationship built between protagonists Lana and Mui, Planet of Lana is a game filled with wonder and adventure. Expect to encounter strange creatures and dangerous machines as you move through lush forests, mysterious caves and arid desert landscapes during your journey.

Throughout daring platforming, engaging puzzles and tense stealth sequences, players will discover a game built around the unique companion mechanic that connects Lana and Mui. Only by working in tandem can you solve the puzzles and avoid the dangers that lay ahead of you, from stalking spindle-legged robot menaces that have mysteriously landed on Lana’s planet, to the not always-friendly fauna that populates Planet of Lana’s breathtaking environments.

“We are so pleased to finally be able to reveal that Planet of Lana is coming to PC and Xbox on May 23rd,” said Wishfully director Adam Stjärnljus.

“Thank you to everyone who has shown such love and support for our game over the last few years. We can’t wait for you to land in the magical world we’ve worked so hard to create and experience this adventure for yourselves.”
