Year: 2024

Infold Games, developers of hit series like Nikki and Mr. Love, have unveiled the upcoming event for their free-to-play, ultra-realistic otome game, Love and Deepspace. The much-anticipated Version 3.0 update, named “Cosmic Encounter Pt.1“, is set to launch on December 31st, 2024. This update promises thrilling new Events, Rewards, and Banners for players. Here’s a rundown of what awaits in the upcoming update.

2024 saw an exceptional abundance of outstanding Metroidvania games, making for quite a festive year! Each of these games offers a unique perspective, allowing us to explore the genre from various angles and gain fresh insights. Given that the blueprint for this style was established in the eighties and refined in the nineties, it’s remarkable how little has changed since then, except perhaps for added polish or 3D dimensions. However, there’s no need to alter the formula significantly. Despite this, Metroidvanias seem to stir up a desire within us to reflect on them more deeply. Perhaps it’s because introspection and looking back are inherent aspects of the genre, and over time, the genre itself has evolved into a Metroidvania, as developers revisit old paths with new twists, aiming to uncover a promising future.
