Summary
Don’t Nod Entertainment’s 2023 climbing adventure gameJusanthas made its way onto the Epic Games Store. One of last year’s more unique titles,Jusantlaunchedday one onto Xbox Game Passin October, as well as on PlayStation 5 and Steam, initially skipping an Epic Games Store release.
French developer Don’t Nod is mainly known for its popular narrative adventure games like theLife is Strangefranchiseand other similar titles likeTwin MirrorandTell Me Why. With that said, when the studio revealedJusant, a unique climbing adventure experience, at Xbox’s Summer Game Fest showcase, many fans of Don’t Nod were puzzled yet delighted at the developer’s impressive range of game scales and art styles.Jusant’s style of gameplay turned out to be a perfect fit for the studio’s signature minimalist visuals.
Almost five months afterJusant’s Fall release, Don’t Nod revealed that it has now launched on Epic Games Store. In a tweet accompanied by a trailer, Don’t Nod expressed that its climbing adventure game is available on Epic’s store at a 20% discount.Jusant’s base price on the storefront is $25, but is discounted to $20; gamers who use Epic Games Store can take advantage of this until March 26.
Jusant is Now Available on the Epic Games Store
Now thatJusanthas landed on the Epic Games Store, there’s still one platform it hasn’t released on that it would seem perfect for. With its minimalist, low-detail art style and relatively small scope, the Nintendo Switch would make a perfect home for a game likeJusant. Many of Don’t Nod’s previous games, like thefirst twoLife is Strangegames, last year’sHarmony: The Fall of Reverie, and even the much more graphically demandingVampyrhave found their way onto Nintendo’s platform over the years;Jusantseems like a no-brainer.
Fans of Don’t Nod’s games have just been treated to anotherAAA-style action-adventure title inBanishers: Ghosts of New Eden, which mixes fierce third-person combat with the story of two ghost hunters who are also lovers. Looking ahead, the studio has anotherLife is Strange-like narrative experience inLost Records: Bloom and Rage,which is also looking to release sometime later this year. Whether it makes it onto Epic Games Store at launch is unknown.
