Voidling Bound, a New Monster-Taming Action Game, Announced for PC

A group of ex-Skylanders developers have announced Voidling Bound, a new monster-taming action game for PC that’s due out next year. Watch the announcement trailer above and check out the first screenshots in the gallery below.

Hatchery Games promises plenty of third-person action, branching paths that let you customize your Voidling’s appearance, playstyle, abilities, and elemental alignment. You can level them up, breed them, collect them, and craft them. The developers set up their sci-fi world as such: “Defenseless against a devastating parasite threatening all life forms, humanity must team up with recently discovered Voidlings to unlock their full potential through the neural bond. Become bound as one, as the last line of defense in our fight for survival.”

We’ll have more on Voidling Bound as development progresses. You can wishlist it on Steam if you’re interested.
