Historical Platformer Treasures of the Aegean Headed to PS5 and PS4 on November 11

Developer Undercoders and publisher Numskull Games have announced that their historical platformer Treasures of the Aegean will release digitally on the PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC on November 11th. In Europe, Numskull will release physical standard and collector’s editions. The latter will come with an art book, soundtrack, and a cloth map.

Treasures of the Aegean will task players with finding out what happened to the Minoan civilization. The protagonists are “parkour master” Marie Taylor and treasure hunter “James Andrew,” who explore the hand-drawn world to uncover secrets, find relics, and solve mysteries.

Features include:

  • Secrets of the Minoan Cataclysm – In 1639 BC a powerful explosion devastated the Minoan civilization and sunk the birthplace of their empire: the volcanic island of Thera. History seems to repeat itself, as the island has resurfaced, and a new cataclysm is bound to happen. Why were the Minoan so advanced to their time? Did King Minos foresee their demise? Can a new eruption of Thera be stopped? There’s only one way to find out!
  • A Sunken Island Trapped in Time – Hidden in the depths for several millennia, the island of Thera is full of historical treasures to collect and mysteries to decipher. Discover a lost Minoan citadel, open your way through an ottoman sunken fleet and unlock the doors to underground palace, as you uncover the details about the folk who lived there and their tragic fate. Exploit a glitch in time to secure information on a persistent map and solve key puzzles, before the world blows up and the loop restarts!
  • Timing, Precision, and Puzzle-Solving – Buckle up for an action-packed adventure, as you parkour your way through a rough terrain full of challenges: surf steep slopes, climb high walls, vault over obstacles, swing on vines and jump over deep pits to explore a hand drawn open world. Every corner of the island hides an artifact, a clue or a piece of the puzzle that needs to be solved to save the world from disaster.
  • You Are Not Alone on the Island… – Marie Taylor is the hero of the story, a brilliant treasure hunter who works with her associate, historian James Andrew, seeking out ancient relics. But this time they’ll find out they’re not the only ones aware of the Minoan scoop, as long time rivals appear on scene to bring back ghosts from the past and complicate matters further.
