  • Ubisoft invests in Lucid Dreams Studio's Metroidvania game Biomorph, releasing on Steam.
  • Biomorph features a unique power absorption mechanic, allowing players to evolve and transform.

Ubisoft announced this morning they have made an investment with Lucid Dreams Studio toward their upcoming Metroidvania game Biomorph. The primary goal of their investment was for end-of-development financing, as they "recognized the talent, scope, and diversity" of the developer as they are pushing to release the game on PC via Steam on April 5. The company isn't taking on any publishing duties, leaving that to LDC themselves, but it is an interesting show of good faith to see the game come to life.

Biomorph

Their powers are absorbed, enabling players to evolve into a formidable force. Each creature vanquished triggers transformation, granting new abilities for combat and exploration.

  • Explore a Vast World: Explore a vast, non-linear, interconnected world composed of 16 different environments, home of optional boss fights, eccentric NPCs, tons of secrets, and upgrades to reward the most daring explorer.
