Available on PC and Switch, Eastward has players taking on the role of silent protagonist John and the young, sweet Sam as they “discover delightful towns, strange creatures and even stranger people! Wield a trusty frying pan and mystic powers on an adventure into the unknown…” With a gorgeous soundtrack composed by Joel Corelitz ( Halo Infinite, Death Stranding, Unfinished Swan) and whimsical pixel art animation that will hearken back to SNES memories of yesteryear, Eastward is inviting and exciting, familiar and fresh, and a fantastic callback to its inspirations while being its own entity.Įastward opens up on John and Sam in the city of Potcrock Isle, an underground village with a well-established culture and hierarchy. That’s what developer Pixpil and Publisher Chucklefish want you to chew on while playing Eastward, players journeying through a society on the brink of collapse.
