Tarsier Studios — the developer behind LittleBigPlanet PS Vita and contributor on the original LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet 2 for PlayStation 3 — announced its new game this morning: the third-person action adventure Hunger.
In Hunger, players control 9-year-old Six, a girl who has been kidnapped from her home and taken to work in a surrealistic and elite underwater resort called The Maw. An "unexpected twist of fate" offers Six a chance to escape, and her subsequent journey through the strange world of The Maw offers her a look at the "corrupt heart of modern happiness." The title incorporates some stealth elements and will emphasize exploration along Six's quest.
"This is not only a huge vote of confidence from the Nordic Game Program expert group,” Tarsier CEO Ola Holmdahl said in a press statement. "The grant enables us to explore an idea we are deeply passionate about. Hunger holds fantastic potential, and our job now is to harness that promise into a great experience."
Currently there are no details on when we can expect Hunger, though the studio has stated they are aiming for a PlayStation 4 downloadable release.
