We now have a release date for Endling: Extinction is Forever; an adventure game all about the last foxes and their attempt to survive a devastated Earth.
Endling doesn’t shy away from difficult subjects, and explores ideas of extinction, pollution, corruption, and eco-consciousness while you play as a mother fox fighting to keep her cubs alive on a ruined Earth.
When does Endling: Extinction is Forever launch?
Endling: Extinction is Forever launches next month on July 19th. The word “endling” in particular seems to be used to refer to the last surviving creature of a species, and that’s the bleak fate we’ll be exploring when the adventure game launches. We spoke with Herobeat Studio co-founder and programmer Javier Ramello in our Xbox Indie Spotlight on Endling, where Ramello told us about the team’s aim to depict Endling in a way “that reflects how we think the Earth can end up being in the near future if we don’t act now.” We’re not left entirely without hope, though: although we’re told that “The last foxes on Earth are just wild animals that can’t understand what’s happening nor do anything to change the fate of the world” and that there isn’t enough genetic diversity to save the species, there is “always a door open for hope and who knows where their headlong rush may lead them to.”
