Get ready to embark on an exciting adventure in Play on Worlds’ upcoming Metroidvania game, Maui the Shapeshifter, which delves into the tale of the Polynesian Demigod. Revealed during the Future Games Show at Gamescom 2024, the first trailer of this 2D hand-drawn game introduces players to the captivating world and some action gameplay.
In Maui the Shapeshifter, players assume the role of Maui, harnessing his godly abilities to protect the wildlife of a Polynesian island from the malevolent force of Cemyk, an ominous being from another realm. Its gameplay mechanic allows Maui to transform into a Hoary Bat for flight, a Green Sea Turtle to withstand perilous obstacles, Kamehameha Butterfly to gracefully traverse vast distances, and much more.
The game boasts a “Customizable Slot System” that empowers players to craft performance upgrades and select their preferred abilities. Plus, Maui’s powerful fishhook will be utilized to manipulate the earth and terrain, solving numerous puzzles and unlocking new areas on the island.
A striking feature of Maui the Shapeshifter is its hand-painted art style, showcasing vibrant and beautiful landscapes as Maui ventures through diverse biomes, including tropical forests, waterfalls, caves, volcanoes, and spiritual realms.
Founder of Play on Worlds, Carlos Martin, expressed,
“After spending so much time in the chilly realm of Ebenezer and the Invisible World, we wanted to create a colorful experience in a different environment while staying true to our love for Metroidvanias. With Maui the Shapeshifter, we hope Metroidvania fans will follow us onto the island and take on a whole new adventure.”
While an official release date is yet to be announced, Maui the Shapeshifter is confirmed for PC and can be wishlisted on Steam.
