The wait for Kiln after its Open Beta Throwdown is nearly over, and Double Fine’s latest trailer is the perfect way to show off the game’s unique visual style and what looks like an interesting gameplay loop.
The premise sees you as a spirit that’s inhabited a clay pot, which can craft new ones to house your formless body. Why, you ask? Well, it’s only because your buddies are on the same page, and you’re going to use those pots in 4v4 battles, complete with special abilities and a lot of breakage. There are a lot of ways to personalize your pots, and style is as important as victory over those pesky rivals of yours.
The new trailer is an indicator that those spirits do love a fun time, though, and the game’s bizarre premise is matched by its visual style that’s both charming and abstract at once.
If you’re on the fence about this one, we’ve put everything you need to know about it in one place. It’s releasing for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S on April 23rd, and will also be available on Game Pass. Double Fine has promised post-launch support, including new maps, in the coming months, so stay tuned for more updates.
