Drinkbox Studios announce Severed

Drinkbox Studios have built a reputation for creating great looking indie gems with {Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack} and {Guacamelee}, and their next game {Severed} certainly continues along the visually striking theme. One of the key concepts of the game is that you will be able to chop off enemy bodyparts and thus unlock new abilities.

"{Severed} follows the saga of a distraught warrior, lost in a fantastical world, as she knits together pieces of her story from both the past and the future. As the heroine, players will embark on a journey through a surreal, nonlinear world by using a gesture-based combat mechanic to defeat enemies in this first-person adventure. During their journey, players will unlock new abilities, discover secrets of the land, and grow in power as they master both offensive and defensive techniques."

Drinkbox refer to these images as "concept screens", so while not screens from the actual game they should provide you with an idea of what the finished product will look like.

{Severed} is being targeted for release next spring and currently no platforms have been announced. Given that Drinbox are bringing out {Guacamelee} to PS4, Xbox One, and Wii U all console as well as Steam are likely candidates.
