Press release:
MAY 25 2022.
Today, Armor Games Studios and Finalboss Games are delighted to announce a double-whammy for their highly anticipated title “LumbearJack“.

Not only is the game now set to launch on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S in addition to Switch and PC, but LumbearJack is officially partnering with Ecologi to reinforce the game’s environmental messaging with real-world action.

LumbearJack players will save not only Jack’s home, but the habitats of woodland animals in our home. As part of the game’s partnership with Ecologi, each copy purchased will ensure one tree is planted in real reforestation efforts.

In LumbearJack, players don the hat and suspenders of Jack–a determined bear with a green thumb–and embark on a mission to save the place he and his friends call home. They will help Jack dismantle heavy machinery, factories and garbage to clean up and restore the forest to its natural beauty through puzzles that use elements found in the world around them. They might even get a chance to slap some sense into the humans leaving litter everywhere while they’re at it!

Manuel Usero, senior developer at FinalBoss Games says, “We created LumbearJack to humorously entertain and educate people about the environmental problem we are currently facing and we are very happy to actively help solve it by partnering with Ecologi.”

LumbearJack is planned for release in 2022 for Steam, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, with further launch details to come.

About LumbearJack
Jack is a humble bear with a simple dream: to return nature to its former glory with the help of his trusty axe and his animal friends. Slice and dice through machinery, slap some sense into wasteful humans, and work with wacky woodland critters to thwart the sinister plans of up-and-coming industrial giant Evil Works.

About Ecologi
Ecologi was initially founded by a group of environmentalists in Bristol, UK. They were frustrated that many of us are not able to contribute enough to the colossal climate problem.

It started in early 2019, when Elliot was on his morning commute to work. He was buying a coffee just as he had done thousands of times before, and asked himself: How much climate action could I fund with the money for a coffee?

The answer led to a revelation – that the pocket change that billions of us have would not only be a significant upgrade to our own personal contributions to the crisis, but could also one day account for reducing half of the world’s emissions.
