Between publishing Ninja Gaiden 4 and Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds 2, Xbox Game Studios has a busy month. However, there’s also Double Fine Productions’ Keeper, an unorthodox adventure title launching this week. Its global release timings have been confirmed, and players can go hands-on at 8 AM PT/11 AM EDT on October 17th.
Unlike the above names, it will retail for $29.99 (though this, of course, varies with region). Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers can play it on day one, as usual, but overall, it’s a much more budget-friendly release.
Available for Xbox Series X/S and PC at release and directed by Lee Petty (Headlander, RAD), Keeper is about a sentient lighthouse traveling with a mysterious seabird for some unknown purpose. Little is known about the gameplay, but players traverse the island, discovering all kinds of surreal creatures and environments while combating a mysterious threat.
The center of the island is the goal, but to what end? We’ll find out in just a few days, so stay tuned.
