Drinkbox Studios 2021 Year in Review

2021 was an eventful year for us, and we wanted to take a moment to reflect on it and share some highlights.

Earlier this year we announced our brand new game Nobody Saves the World which is coming EARLY 2022. It’s our most ambitious game to date and we can’t wait for you to play it SOON 👀👀👀

Here’s what people are saying about the game so far:

• "Blending the humor of the studio’s past games with the developers’ penchant for upending classic genre ideas, the opening missions of Nobody I played hint at a fascinating, funny, and fulfilling RPG adventure." – IGN
• "It's pacy and fluid, slick, but light. It's great, and a good example of what this studio's all about. A layer of loveable goof, at ground level, that soon gives way to a much deeper well of combat, and systems, and a quiet mastery of genre." – Eurogamer
• "From its weird genre-bending locations to its highly customizable gameplay and its funny, strange story, it looks like Drinkbox has succeeded in unifying a variety of different ideas for its take on the action-RPG genre.” – Gamespot

Wishlist us on Steam and be notified when the game launches. Every wishlist we get helps our visibility when we launch, so we really appreciate it if you're able to take the time to do so!

It was a pretty quiet year for us as we were mainly focussed on finishing Nobody Saves the World, but a few exciting things happened in 2021:

• One of our favourite games ever, Dead Cells, made tribute to several indie games, including our very own Guacamelee’s Juan!
  
• Juan also makes a cameo in our friends’ game The Big Con

Thanks for all your support in 2021. We hope you’re doing well and continuing to stay safe and that 2022 will be a much better year for everyone.
