In this episode, I pull together the latest details on the development of EASTWARD and try to answer some of those lingering questions.

EASTWARD is a stunning action-adventure RPG where you play as John and Sam, companions moving through a dying world filled with monsters.
A playable demo was available for 48 hours back in December 2019. The game was slated to release before the end of 2020. It's now April 2021... so where's Eastward? I gather details from the dev blogs "Feastward" and "Winter Update" on Steam, and hidden details from Chucklefish on Discord, to learn about the state of Pixpil, game features, and speculation on Eastward's release date.

I'm playing this gameplay demo on the PC which is no longer availble via Steam games, but the game will release on both the PC and Nintendo Switch.

𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 "𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲" 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 "𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲" 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄!

Enjoy! :)
