Modus Games and developer Finish Line Games have announced Skully for Nintendo Switch and other systems, an adventure-platformer planned to launch this summer.
The game sees the titular Skully heading out on a quest to stop a simmering war between feuding siblings. A press release says that, "summoned by a local deity desperate for peace among his kin, Skully can sculpt new abilities from pools of magical clay found throughout the lush island he finds himself washed up on".
You can get your first taste of Skully's gameplay in the new video above. You'll get to see how his different forms can open up new areas, as well as the game's lovely-looking scenery. Daniel Posner, CEO of Finish Line Games, has shared the following:
"We're really excited to share Skully with the world. We think a lot of people will connect with the game, and its heroic journey of a seemingly unimposing character destined to accomplish great things."
Skully will launch on Switch on 4th August 2020, so we don't have long to wait to check it out for ourselves.

It looks really nice, not a lot of stuff going on in those scenes though.
They had me at the name in all honesty haha! Love a skull I do, but the gameplay looks interesting too and the characters look fab, I will be picking this up.
Okay, looks nice, but where is Mulder?
Skully, you have piqued my interest. Gunna be watching out for this one for sure
I am actually impressed with the presentation of the platforming. That golem mechanic looks great.
Was let down with Defunct last night, saw some of the "speed" scenes and had flashbacks.
Looks like another, in a positive air, go-out-and-play game! Love how Nintendo rocks the rpg/jrpg/Spyro-type games.
So it's basically Sonic if you could only use spin dash and instead of chaos emeralds there's pools of clay.
Lok at first i was like..? Uhh a ball rolling okay? Then i watched the rest and i was like: that looks great, nice concept to transform etc.
Why does it look like they ripped off some of the Zelda characters when Skully transformed?
So play as a goron.
@NookMiler - The more I look at it, looks to me to be a blend of De Blob and the Deku race.
@ThanosReXXX Surely you mean Hitchcock..? 😉
What a cute protagonist.
Looks interesting, might check it out.
@chewytapeworm Hitchcock? Erm... no, not really. I was referring to the X-Files, obviously.
@ThanosReXXX Thank you.
@PoorGeno You're welcome.
Looks pretty cool!
Yes please. Looks great am in the mood for this type of game right now.
@ThanosReXXX obviously! And I, Brooklyn 99, obviously!
Looks great will wait for reviews though.
@chewytapeworm Ah, that explains it. Wasn't familiar with that one. The only Hitchcock I know, is the movie director...
EDIT:
After looking it up, it turns out I've actually seen some episodes of this show after all. The memory of it apparently just hasn't stayed with me long enough for me to remember the names of the characters.
Looks horrible, and not one sign of Mulder at all.
This looks my type of game, thats for sure, keep my eye on it
