Get ready to be emotionally wrecked (in the best way possible) because the first gameplay trailer for Neva is here, and it looks absolutely stunning. Developed by Nomada Studio, the team behind the critically acclaimed Gris, Neva is an action-adventure game that promises a beautiful and impactful journey.

The trailer introduces us to Alba, a young woman who forms a bond with a horned wolf cub in a world on the brink of collapse. While Gris was known for its focus on puzzles and exploration with a strong emphasis on art style, Neva seems to be taking a different approach. This new title incorporates combat into the mix, all while retaining the breathtaking visuals that Nomada Studio is known for.

The trailer, released by publisher Devolver Digital during Summer Game Fest, doesn’t lock down a specific release date but confirms a 2024 launch window. Neva will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

If you’re a fan of Gris, you’ll likely find yourself drawn to Neva. The game oozes with a similar artistic style and promises an emotional narrative. The inclusion of a canine companion might just push this title over the edge in terms of tear-jerking potential, and with vibes reminiscent of Princess Mononoke, Neva is shaping up to be an unforgettable adventure.
