    Five delightful things to do in Solar Ash, out tomorrow

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Solar Ash is a game that is, at its heart, about traversing with great speed through a massive world to discover its secrets. The protagonist Rei skates over wild cloudscapes, eerie landscapes, and great ruins. She’s a stranger in a strange and dangerous land – out of her depth, but pushing forward with incredible will and commitment.

    Here are five amazing things you can do in Solar Ash…

    1. Take down a giant lava-bird-monster 

    Rei encounters a wide variety of aggressively large creatures in all manner of forms, such as an enormous bird-like monster that resides in the lava biome in the north. Why does it live in the burning heat of such a volatile environment? Perhaps you’ll find out. Victory will require great speed, careful balance, and precise timing all while soaring through the air high above the dangerous flow of lava.

    The oozing heat tempts the foolish to leap. Only the skilled survive.

    2. Build out your suit collection 

    As she glides, jumps, and flies across the world of Solar Ash, Rei can grab multiple pieces of gear from hidden or hard-to-reach spots strewn about the world. These will net you rewards in the form of suit parts that can be assembled to unlock new bonus powers. These may be well worth your time to find and build out and succeed on your journey through the Ultravoid.

    Patience, vigilance, and exploration will be rewarded.

    3. Rail-grind up an ancient ship graveyard 

    The universe of Solar Ash contains a great host of desolate, abandoned structures that Rei can glide over and through. Find the derelict fleet floating above the clouds, highlighted by the uncanny glow of the sky. Grind, slash, and platform up this ominous scrapyard. Perhaps there’s something, or someone, at the end of this once-great heap to greet you?

    Sometimes decrepit ruins belie great rewards.

    4. Collect lots of space blood (and other trinkets)

    Traveling mostly alone through a harsh, foreign landscape can be a dicey proposition. Fortunately, the game is full of collectables, including Plasma, which Rei can use to upgrade her shields.

    Players will also find a wide array of investigatable objects, easter eggs, and side-quest-related items that unlock backstory elements of each of the worlds consumed by the Ultravoid. Guide Rei through uncovering what happened to each, the awful fates that have befallen their peoples, and the intricate mysteries surrounding the places themselves.

    Savor the small moments of storytelling and lore.

    5. Take a moment to recite a poem 

    It can’t all be spooky architecture and destructive behemoths. Throughout her journey, Rei encounters some eccentric characters. Talk to Ahrric, who shares an ancient poem used for speaking with the “Elders”. Sure, buddy. Whatever you say. Do you commit the poem to memory? Or dismiss it as the strange gibberings of an even stranger, melodramatic creature?

    The little things that most neglect may be more important than you think.

    There’s so much more to Solar Ash. Find out for yourself when it hits PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on December 2!

  • Fünf wunderbare Dinge, die ihr in Solar Ash ab morgen tun könnt

    Fünf wunderbare Dinge, die ihr in Solar Ash ab morgen tun könnt

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Solar Ash ist ein Spiel, das sich im Kern darum dreht, mit hoher Geschwindigkeit durch eine riesige Welt zu jagen, um ihre Geheimnisse zu entdecken. Die Protagonistin Rei jagt über wilde Wolkenlandschaften, durch unheimliche Bereiche oder großartige Ruinen. Sie ist eine Fremde in einem seltsamen und gefährlichen Land – etwas überfordert, aber mit unglaublicher Willensstärke und Einsatz bereit, weiterzumachen.

    Hier sind fünf aufregende Sachen, die ihr in Solar Ash tun könnt:

    Bezwingt ein riesiges Lava-Vogel-Monster

    Rei begegnet einer Reihe von aggressiv-großen Kreaturen in unterschiedlichsten Formen, wie zum Beispiel einem enormen vogelartigen Monster, das in der Lavagegend im Norden lebt. Wieso lebt es in der brennenden Hitze so einer instabilen Umgebung? Vielleicht findet ihr es heraus. Um zu siegen müsst ihr schnell sein, gute Balance haben und präzises Timing, um in der Luft über dem gefährlichen Lava-Fluss zu überleben.

    Die stressige Hitze verführt Leichtsinnige vielleicht zum Springen – nur, wer wirklich etwas kann, überlebt.

    Baut eure Anzug-Kollektion aus

    Während sie durch die Welt von Solar Ash gleitet, springt und fliegt, kann Rei verschiedene Ausrüstungsgegenstände aus versteckten oder schwer erreichbaren Bereichen sammeln, die über die Welt verstreut sind. Aus diesen könnt ihr Anzugteile gewinnen, die zusammengesetzt neue Kräfte freischalten. Sie und ihr Ausbau sind oft eure Zeit wert, weil ihr dadurch auf eurer Reise durch die Ultravoid weiterkommt.

    Geduld, Aufmerksamkeit und Forschung werden belohnt.

    Slidet durch den alten Schiffsfriedhof

    Das Universum von Solar Ash enthält eine Reihe von verlassenen, einsamen Strukturen, über und durch Rei gleiten kann. Findet die verlassene Flotte über den Wolken, die sich gegen das unheimliche Glühen des Himmels abzeichnet. Gleitet, springt und hüpft euch diesen seltsamen Schrotthaufen hinauf. Vielleicht gibt es hier etwas oder jemanden am Ende dieses mal großen Haufens, der euch begrüßen wird?

    Manchmal gibt es großartige Belohnungen unter verlassenen Ruinen.

    Sammelt viel All-Blut (und andere Kleinigkeiten)

    Wenn ihr meist allein durch die brutale, fremde Landschaft reist, ist das nicht immer gemütlich. Zum Glück gibt es im Spiel eine Menge sammelbare Dinge wie Plasma, mit dem Rei ihre Schilde upgraden kann.

    Spieler werden auch eine große Vielfalt erforschbarer Objekte, Easter Eggs und Elemente aus Side-Quests finden, die die Hintergrundgeschichten von jeder der Welten erschließen, die von der Ultravoid verschlungen werden. Führt Rei durch den Prozess, aufzudecken, was mit jeder passiert ist, welches schreckliche Schicksal die Bewohner befallen hat und entdeckt geheimnisse, die sich um die Orte selbst ranken.

    Genießt die kleinen Momente der Geschichten und Legenden.

    Nehmt euch einen Moment, um ein Gedicht aufzusagen

    Es kann nicht immer nur unheimliche Architektur und zerstörerische Giganten geben. Auf ihrer Reise trifft Rei auch einige exzentrische Charaktere. Wie Ahrric, der ein altes Gedicht mit euch teilt, mit dem man mit den “Alten” spricht. Natürlich, Kumpel,, was immer du sagst. Habt ihr das Gedicht auswendig gelernt? Oder vergesst ihr es gleich wieder, weil es nur das Brabbeln einer seltsamen, melodramatischen Kreatur ist?

    Die kleinen Dinge, die die meisten vernachlässigen, können wichtiger sein, als ihr denkt.

  • Travel into the void in Solar Ash, coming to PlayStation 5

    Travel into the void in Solar Ash, coming to PlayStation 5

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Our first game, Hyper Light Drifter, is a very personal story. I began work on the game during a brutal low period, stemming from a lifetime of health problems. The game reflected these personal struggles, and development on the title helped to focus on a creative outlet that could sustain and help to build something bigger than the demons that would always be clawing.

    Our second title, Solar Ash, has been about reflection and progress in many ways. Our ambitions are bigger and the team has grown to match. The story still remains personal, but evolves to be something beyond just the weight of the struggle into something more hopeful.

    In Solar Ash, the player journeys through the Ultravoid, a ravenous rift in space swallowing worlds. It’s a place of incredible danger and surreal spaces – a dream none can escape. Familiar though alien, lush but grotesque, peaceful at times and supremely violent in others. Our characters must find solace in each other to make it through the spiral of despair they find themselves trapped in.

    Players will blast through high-speed traversal challenges with wild gravity and beautiful vistas, while slaying massive monsters and meeting other lost souls. Beware the remnants that loom and bristle with hunger.

    We’ve been working tirelessly over the years, building incredible tech to help realize this fantastic world. After releasing Hyper Light, I wanted to dive into a bigger, grander world, opening up possibilities with far more powerful tools.

    PlayStation 5 gives us power previously unavailable in a console: we can push more lush, high-quality visuals at a much higher framerate, we can load seamlessly due to the wild speed of the SSD, and the DualSense can even provide feedback in the controller we had not known was possible. Power is all well and good, but the most exciting part is the suite of tools for more direct engagement with our audience.

    We’ll be revealing more about Solar Ash as release comes closer. We’ve poured our heart into the project, and hope you’ll enjoy it.
