New 3D action adventure title, Mulaka is out now for PS4 & PC, with Switch & Xbox One versions arriving March 1st and 2nd. The game offers an intimate look at the history and mythology of northern Mexico's indigenous Tarahumara people (read more on the historical significance and why they decided to go this route, here), and they are kicking off their launch week with a new trailer, which you can watch below.
Embracing imagery drawn directly from the Sierra Tarahumara region of Mexico that the Tarahumara people call their home, the launch trailer shines a spotlight on the hero's journey, from facing down giant bosses like the fearsome Watakari - A gargantuan bullfrog, ancient guardian of the mythical Arareko lake - to using the powers of the demigods to transform and explore new parts of the world. Mulaka aims to offer up a fast-paced gameplay experience that's truly authentic to the culture it portrays.
How serious are they about this? Serious enough to include dialog recorded in the Tarahumara's native tongue, and a world full of creatures based on myths and legends that have been passed down for generations, highlighting Lienzo's commitment to authenticity throughout Mulaka. As an added bonus, all PlayStation Plus subscribers who purchase Mulaka in its first week will receive an exclusive theme for free.
