Set in an alien world, Planet of Lana tells the story of Lana and her loyal animal friend Mui as they embark on a rescue mission to save her sister. This moving story is experienced through the lens of a cinematic side-scrolling gameplay format as players explore a colorful world filled with stunning environments, strange creatures and dangerous machines. From a gameplay perspective, Planet of Lana is an adventure filled with daring platforming, engaging puzzles, thrilling stealth sequences, and an accompanying mechanic that connects Lana and Mui, enabling unique gameplay and story moments by using their skills together.

Planet of Lana’s soundtrack is composed by DICE and BAFTA-nominated composer Takeshi Furukawa, known for his work on The Last Guardian. This otherworldly odyssey is connected with a completely unique visual style that combines hand-drawn illustrations, complex parallax layers and subtle use of 3D graphics to give the appearance of an interactive painting. On high-end PCs and Xbox Series X, Planet of Lana runs at native 4K (2160p) resolution at 60 frames per second, bringing the incredible artwork to life.

Planet of Lana’s stunning hand-painted visuals, unforgettable story and epic soundtrack will come exclusively to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC via Steam and the Windows 10 Store in Spring 2023.
