The developer of Limbo and Inside has revealed two new pieces of art for its long-gestating third game.

Now, we finally have a new look at Playdead’s new game. The studio revealed via its Twitter account that it would be at the Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco next month in March, posting some tantalizing artwork to accompany the message. This artwork would appear to be from Playdead’s new game, given that we’ve never actually seen it before.

If you follow the link in the tweet, aGoogleform reveals that the new game is “a 3D, open world, sci-fi adventure set in a remote corner of the universe made in Unreal 5.” These are the first gameplay details we’ve ever actually had for Playdead’s new game - we never knew it was open-world, which is a big departure from the linear stories and worlds of Limbo and Inside.

The Google form also reveals a second piece of art for the new game. Just below, you can see the second piece, which sees a small figure making their way past what appear to be massive pipes, and towards what could be a broken-down car. Knowing Playdead, I’d bet there’s a fair chance we end up going inside one of those pipes.
