The sequel to the original that arrived in 2016 on Oculus
As the saying goes: shake it once that’s fine, shake it twice that’s okay, shake it three times, you’re playing with yourself (today).
Lucky’s Talehas gone from two games to three, which makes it a full-on franchise if it wasn’t already. It began life as “Lucky’s Tale” on the Oculus Rift, then pivoted outside of the purview of VR with “Super Lucky’s Tale,” the sequel. Now a third game that features “all-new levels, story, cinematics, and character dialogue” is coming to Switch in the form of “New Super Lucky’s Tale” this fall.
WhileSuper Lucky’s Talewas already a cute reference to the previous SNES and Genesis generation, Playful Corp. also added the “New” bit in as a clear nod to Nintendo’s “New” subseries of first-party games. Previously,Super Lucky’s Talewas relegated to the PC and Xbox One platforms.
This isn’t as monumental of a deal as it seemed at first glance, because while Microsoft published the second game on PC and Xbox One, developer Playful Corp, itself an independent studio, is self-publishing the Switch edition: it’s entirely possible that a timed exclusivity deal just ran out.
