Puppeteer: TGS 2012 Trailer

Puppeteer: TGS 2012 TrailerOne of the more interesting reveals at this year’s Gamescom in Cologne was new Sony property, Puppeteer, being developed by SCE Japan Studio for Playstation 3.

It tells the decidedly dark story of a young boy named Kutaro, who is carried away one night by the evil Moon Bear King and transformed into a living puppet. When Kutaro displeased the King, he devoured the boy’s head and cast the body aside. Now on a quest to restore his head and his soul – and return home – Kutaro must travel through an ever-changing, often disturbing world.

The trailer below was recently shown at the Tokyo Game Show, and reveals some of the twisted characters you’ll meet as Kutaro. The art style looks beautiful, half way between LittleBigPlanet and Alice in Wonderland, and the dark fairytale world is something that’s rarely used in videogames. It’s worth noting that the voice acting in the trailer is a place-holder only (it’s actually Gavin Moore, Art Director of SCE Worldwide Studios).

Puppeteer is a Sony exclusive in development for Playstation 3 by SCE Japan Studio. It will be released in 2013.
