There’s a new Wonder Boy game in the works from original series creator Ryuichi Nishizawa, and it’s currently expected to arrive on Switch and PlayStation 4 next year.
Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World (thanks IGN) brings Monster World 4’s protagonist Asha back to the fore, and once again she’s aided in her quest to save the world by her trusty airborne pal Pepelogoo, who features in the first bit of promotional artwork for the fully voiced adventure, which you can see below.
According to IGN, Asha in Monster World will be a collaboration between STUDIOARTDINK and ININ Games, and notably features several team members from earlier Wonder Boy games in prominent roles. Nishizawa will serve as project director, alongside character designer Maki Ōzora, original composer Shinichi Sakamoto, and creative manager Takanori Kurihara.
