The action-adventure title Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara will be launching on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam on July 27, 2023. The game can also be Wishlisted on Steam now.
Effectively serving as a spiritual successor to Summer in Mara which was released in 2020, Koa and the Five Pirates Of Mara eschews its more laid-back life sim style gameplay for a more active 3D platformer that Chibig describes as a blend of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Super Mario 3D World.
Koa and the Five Pirates Of Mara hit its €30,000 funding goal in its starting hour on Kickstarter. By the fundraiser’s end, the project had accumulated €282,634 in funds, raising approximately 850% of its initial milestone. The game was previously slated to launch in 2022 but has since delayed launch until now.
Koa and the Five Pirates Of Mara is described as a 3D action-platformer, in which players take on the role of the series protagonist Koa in an adventure traversing the wild islands with her little friend Napopo. Unlocking an archipelago piece by piece, Koa’s adventures will take her to wildly-ranging environments. From sandy beaches to bubbling volcanoes, there’s no shortage of charming and colorful islands to visit, each one chock full of secrets and collectibles. Each level offers beautiful visuals rich with detail and depth!
