For years,Earthboundhas been hailed as a fan-favorite RPG by many for its creativity, quirkiness, and overall experimental style. While its predecessorMother, orEarthbound Beginnings, wasn’t localized outside of Japan until 2015, fans still have yet to seeMother 3come outside of Japan, and the game remains a hot topic in many circles - even appearing in the news forMother 3’s 15th anniversarythis week. SoonOddventure, a game inspired by the series, will be available on PC and Switch.

TheEarthboundseries has served as an inspiration for many, even spawning one of the most popular indie titles in recent years:Undertale. While former Nintendo of America presidentReggie Fils-Aime continues to tease fansabout the localization ofMother 3, the upcomingEarthbound-inspired game by indie developer Infamous Rabbit looks like it could fill the void.

Oddventureis a turn-based RPG in the same vain asMother 3andUndertale, holding a quirky and seemingly light-hearted yet mysterious tone. The game was originally slated to release solely on PC, but has now been confirmed for a Nintendo Switch thanks to publisher Pineapple Works. While there is no set release date at the moment, the game is planned for release in Q3 2022.

A demo can be downloaded Steam and itch.io, while fans can followOddventure’s Kickstarter to learn more about the development. The RPG will follow Charlie, a socially awkward teenage girl, who has set out on a search for her younger brother Bonzo. Along the way, players will encounter strange enemies and allies as they travel through the fairy tale-inspired land of Luxia. The artstyle looks to take heavy inspiration fromEarthboundandMother 3, even bearing similar resemblance in its battle screens and enemies. Some sections of the game also seem to call back to the black-and-white motif seen inparts ofUndertale.
