A new 3D Metroidvania called Maseylia: Echoes of the Past aims to revolutionize the genre with its fully interconnected three-dimensional world and freedom-focused gameplay. The upcoming title promises that each new ability will greatly expand the player’s movement options, opening up hidden paths and rewarding curious exploration.
Set in a world where ancient ruins meet alien forests and techno-organic structures, players will master fluid traversal abilities including double jumps, 360-degree aerial dashes, grappling hook mechanics, and underwater exploration. The developers emphasize that the new powers won’t just open doors, but will fundamentally reshape the way players move and interact with the environment.
The game’s art direction takes inspiration from renowned artist Moebius, creating what is described as a breathtaking sci-fi universe where nature and ancient technology merge into surreal landscapes. Players will discover the tragic history of Maseylia through environmental narratives, exploring forgotten towns and discovering remnants of the past.
Combat focuses on mobility, with players facing hostile creatures and imposing bosses in fluid, movement-based combat. The developers cite Metroid Prime, Pseudoregalia and Hollow Knight as inspiration, although they are reimagining the formula in a true 3D space. The central mystery involves uncovering the secrets of Maseylia’s heart through non-linear exploration and revolutionary gameplay.
