Sword & Sworcery developer reveals next game: Super T.I.M.E. Force

Developer Capybara Games is best known for its critically praised iOS game Superbrothers Sword & Sworcery EP, and the buzz surrounding that project has led to much speculation regarding the next game to emerge from the Canadian studio. Well, we now have a name, a description, and our first screenshot from the much-anticipated next title from Capybara, Super T.I.M.E. Force.

Planned as an entry in the Independent Games Festival next March, Super T.I.M.E. Force is set in the year “198X” and features “an elite squad of time-traveling badasses.”

Along with launching a new website for the game, Capybara has posted an official synopsis of Super T.I.M.E. Force on the Independent Games Festival’s site:

THE YEAR: 198X

LOCATION: OUTER-SPACE

THE PROBLEM: EVERYTHING’S GONE TO SHIT

THE MISSION: ERASE HISTORY’S DUMB MISTAKES

THE GOAL: MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR YOU AND ME

THE TEAM: T.I.M.E (TEMPORAL INEVITABILITY MANIPULATION EXPERTS), AN ELITE SQUAD OF TIME-TRAVELING BADASSES

QUALIFICATIONS: MAXIMUM BADASSERY

ALSO: THEY HOLD PATENTS ON TIME TRAVEL GEAR THAT NO ONE HAS

THE PLAN: JUMP THROUGH TIME AND KILL STUFF THAT NEVER SHOULD’VE HAPPENED

FOR INSTANCE: COVERT ALIEN INVASIONS, NAZIS, BOY BANDS, ETC.

THE CATCH: ALTERING PRE-EXISTING EVENTS IN SPACE-TIME COULD HAVE DIRE CONSEQUENCES

THE CONSEQUENCES:
– PISSING OFF GOD
– TOTAL ANNIHILATION OF ALL MATTER OF EXISTENCE
– ACCIDENTALLY DATING YOUR MOTHER

PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS: UNCERTAIN

THE RISK: WORTH IT

WHEN DO THEY START: NOW!

At first glance, the game looks like an old-school shooter, but as many learned from Superbrothers Sword & Sworcery EP, Capybara has a knack for putting a unique spin on old-school environments.

3 Xbox Game Pass games you need to play this weekend (May 3-5)
Senua in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

Another weekend is upon us, and you're probably looking for some games to kill time with over the course of it. We're in a bit of a lull right now ahead of a flurry of releases starting next week, so it's a great time to dip back into the Xbox Game Pass catalog and check out some games that you may have missed. There are three games in particular that I think you should check out this weekend if you're looking for something to play.

One is an unsettling adventure that's getting an Xbox-exclusive sequel later this month. The next is a finely animated roguelike indie that recently made its way to Microsoft's gaming subscription service. Finally, there's a relaxing adventure that gives players a lot of freedom, yet is short enough to beat in a weekend. If you're having trouble deciding what to play this weekend, give one of these games a shot.

3 underrated PS Plus games you should play this weekend (May 3-5)
The main character of Tales of Kenzera: Zau stands with two elemental items.

PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra have been around for almost two years, and during that time the subscription service has established itself as an ample competitor to Xbox Game Pass. That means there is a wealth of great games for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners to check out if they're looking for something to play this weekend. I think PS Plus subscribers should be looking toward some of the more underrated games in the subscription service this weekend too.

I have three particular picks in mind. The first is an enjoyable Metroidvania that came to PS Plus' game catalog when it launched just a couple of weeks ago and deserves a lot more attention than it's getting. After that, there's an action-platformer that pays homage to series like Ninja Gaiden that you should check out before it leaves the catalog. Finally, there's a PS2-era Star Wars game that fills the niche a recently canceled game would have.

If you’re not using PlayStation Stars, you’re missing out
Three phone screens with the PlayStation Stars app.

I wouldn't blame you if you forgot PlayStation Stars existed. In fact, I would guess the majority of people out there have no idea what that even is, but PlayStation's reward program deserves more attention than it's getting.

Launched in the summer of 2022, PlayStation Stars is a program meant to reward players for engaging with the PlayStation ecosystem. You can take on challenges to earn digital collectibles and, more importantly, coins that can be redeemed for games, store credit, and some premium in-game currencies.
