'In many respects, this project represents the game we have always aspired to create,' Nordgren explained.
'The experiences shared between Jordi and myself over the years have shaped a vision that’s become much more than just a collection of refined battles—it embodies the spirit and surreal storytelling Everhood is known for.
We are eager for players to experience the universe and journey with us.' A new announcement trailer has been released to showcase some of Everhood Hunters’ gameplay elements and signature surreal aesthetic.
