Orbitals launches as an asymmetric two-player cooperative puzzle-adventure that packages retro anime aesthetics with dedicated co-op design.
The title emphasizes teamwork, local split-screen and online play options, and cinematic presentation supplied by Studio Massket.
Promotional material for the game highlights multi-language full voice acting and an original soundtrack intended to evoke classic Japanese animation.
According to the game's official description, "Orbitals is an intergalactic two-player cooperative adventure set in a new retro-anime world, where players take on the roles of Maki and Omura—two determined explorers searching beyond a supernatural cosmic storm to save their crumbling home station." Rewritten in journalistic terms: the game's materials state that players control two complementary characters who must collaborate to navigate hazardous sectors, repair their settlement, and solve environmental puzzles.
Gameplay and co-op systems
Orbitals is explicitly built from the ground up for asymmetric 2-player co-op.
The game supports local split-screen and online multiplayer through GameShare and the Orbitals Global Friend's Pass.
Each character carries unique tools and abilities designed to require communication and role coordination; successful progress is framed around puzzle-solving, ship piloting through asteroid fields, and exploring abandoned stations filled with hazards that demand two-player cooperation.
Presentation and production credits
Studio Massket is credited with creating the hand-crafted cinematic cutscenes.
The title ships with full voice acting in English, Japanese, LATAM Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, European Spanish, Chinese, and German, and features an original soundtrack intended to capture the era's anime feeling.
