Well, the Future Games Show is always full of surprises, but we've not had one quite like this before. We've just had the reveal of a game that's currently codenamed Project Mango, and it's a collaboration between Toukana Interactive - aka the developers behind chill puzzle game Dorfromantik - and kurzgesagt, the hugely popular animated science storytellers of YouTube fame.
Although there's not a lot of info about Project Mango right now, beyond a loose target to launch in 2025, we do know that it will offer "a fresh and accessible approach to a well-established genre". Cryptic right?
We've also been told that "players can expect a colorful and cheerful style – and sometimes tongue-in-cheek undertone akin to kurzgesagt’s curiosity-sparking videos".
As for what exactly you'll do, it sounds like it will be some kind of world-builder set in space. The debut trailer, which you can watch above, has a kind of yellow bean in space having various different elements like satellites and rockets plonked onto it. Even if it's just a space-themed Dorfromantik I'll be into it, so I'm intrigued to see where Project Mango goes.
The collaboration came about when the two studios met at Gamescom in 2022. Toukana had just released the Switch version of Dorfromantik, and was preparing to start pre-production on a new title. Kurzgesagt had been looking into making a game for a while, but just needed the right partner, and hey presto, Project Mango was born.
There's not much more to share for now beyond the official website for the project, and to keep an eye on Toukana's Twitter feed for more info.
