It’s been a while since we heard anything substantial from Little Big Adventure: Twinsen’s Quest, the remake of long-defunct developer Adeline Software’s much-loved 1994 action-adventure. But it’s now returned in a flurry of news, bringing with it a new trailer, a limited-time Steam demo, and a 14th November release date on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC.
Little Big Adventure (for those of you too young/previously indisposed to remember) tells the story of Twinsen – a model citizen turned fugitive overnight – as he attempts to escape evil dictator Dr. FunFrock. It offers a compelling mix of platforming, puzzling, and exploration that, 30 years later, has had a thorough makeover in Little Big Adventure: Twinsen’s Quest.
Twinsen’s Quest developer 2.21, which was founded by Little Big Adventure co-creator Didier Chanfray, announced a bunch of ambitious plans for the series back in 2021, including updated remasters, a remake, and even a (seemingly stalled) new entry. To date, the studio has released remasters of Little Big Adventure 1 & 2, and its remake is now due before the end of the year.
