It's time to go on a digital adventure! Narita Boy will be released on Steam on 30th March. The narrative-driven Metroidvania adventure is inspired by the electronic pop culture of the 1980s, with a synth-wave soundtrack and neo-retro aesthetic to match, as players are sucked into the Digital Kingdom to fight for its freedom… and for the memories of its human creator.

Team17 and Studio Koba are also leading the charge on the Saving The Arcade World, a campaign powered by Narita Boy and created to raise awareness of the plight facing arcade games and arcade amusements. Team17 has partnered with The Strong: National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York, The National Videogame Museum in the UK, and Arcade Vintage: Museo del Videojuego in Spain, to ensure this distinct and important part of video games history is protected and preserved.
