Symphonia Coming in December

A harmonious blend of precision platforming and orchestral brilliance awaits in this innovative indie title

Sunny Peak’s upcoming musical platformer Symphonia promises to strike a unique chord when it launches across all major platforms this December. Set in a world where music quite literally breathes life into its surroundings, players step into the shoes of the enigmatic Philemon on a quest to restore harmony to a fractured realm.

Instrumental Innovation

What immediately catches the eye is how Symphonia incorporates its musical theme into its core mechanics. Your violin isn’t merely for show – it serves as both your primary tool for traversal and puzzle-solving. The platforming appears to demand precision, with players using their bow and violin to catapult through intricately designed levels whilst reactivating dormant machinery.

Orchestral Ambitions

The game’s soundtrack, performed by the Scoring Orchestra Paris and composed by Olivier Esman, suggests a level of musical authenticity that could elevate the experience beyond typical platforming fare. Each environment seemingly melds mechanical elements with musical motifs, creating what looks to be a visually distinctive art style.

First Impressions

While the concept of music-based platforming isn’t entirely new, Symphonia’s approach to integrating orchestral elements into both its narrative and gameplay mechanics shows promise. The ability to gather fellow musicians and perform concerts adds an intriguing social element that could provide meaningful progression beyond pure platforming challenges.

Symphonia launches on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on 5th December 2024.
