Away: Journey to the Unexpected was first teased way back when the Switch was first launching into the world, being listed in an infographic which aimed to show a selection of indie games heading to the console in 2017. Now, though, we've been treated to a brand new trailer to show off some of the title's gameplay. Check it out above.
The game is described as a "feel-good first-person adventure game" combining action, negotiation, and rogue-lite elements inside an anime-inspired art style package. You’re not a fighter or a hero in this one, but you are great at making friends and many of the colourful characters you meet in-game - from robotic cowboy bounty hunters to bizarre space oddities - can be recruited to fight alongside you. Your job is to convince them to join your cause.
Features:
- Colourful and unique visuals created by renowned artist and developer Aurélien Regard (The Next Penelope)
- A refreshing, light-hearted story packed full of adventure and humour
- A first person adventure with fast-paced combat and rogue-lite elements
- A vast cast of quirky characters to meet, convince and recruit to fight for you
- Underpinned by an anime-inspired soundtrack
We've got some work-in-progress screenshots for you to check out below:
The game is expected to land on Nintendo Switch in Q1 2019.
Do you like the look of this one? Are you thinking of giving it a go when it arrives on Switch next year? Tell us below.

It's like a First person RPG, hmm looks interesting
Looks really cool to me
Goofy Skyrim, rad.
Well, I was interested in this well over a year ago...still interested now.
I'm really happy to see 2D characters return to 3D environments, but this game looks completely bonkers and I have no clue what to expect form it!
I'm gonna buy it for sure ! Go Aurélien !
Been really interested in this one for a while. Really hope it turns out well.
Buying this just because the art style is beautiful.
I've been watching this since it was first announced. I'm getting sooo tired of waiting. I can't wait to play it for all of its charm it is oozing.
A talking frog in the toilet...I'm SOLD!
This trailer is the first I've seen of this game. Instantly sold.
Sold I Need this
This looks cool.....until I read rogue lite. Not for me
Looks pretty good!!!
How have I not heard of this? It looks really fun! I love the style, reminds me of skyrim lite crossed with borderlands.
The question is how much rogue lite are your elements... And also Q1 2019 is Jan-mar or Apr-jun?
