Drinkbox Studios formed in 2008 and has been releasing one critically-acclaimed game after another ever since.2018’sGuacamelee 2was the last game that the studio put out to rave reviews, and now, four years later, fans know exactly when they can play the celebrated developer’s next release.
Nobody Saves the Worldis the next game fromDrinkbox Studiosand it is set to launch on Tuesday, January 18, which is just a couple of weeks away from the time of this writing. Whereas theGuacameleegames are Metroidvanias,Nobody Saves the Worldis a top-down action-RPG. The gameplay between the games is very different, butNobody Saves the Worlddoes seem to shareGuacamelee’s sharp sense of humor and there are some simliarities between the art styles as well.

Nobody Saves the Worldalso has co-op, which is another similarity it shares withGuacamelee 2. But whileGuacamelee 2had local co-op, it appears as thoughNobody Saves the World’s co-op is online only. That may disappoint some fans, but at least they don’t even have to buy the game to access it. As it turns out,Nobody Saves the Worldis a day one Xbox Game Pass game, which should make it much easier for fans to find someone to play online co-op with.
It should be noted thatNobody Saves the Worldis an Xbox console exclusive game, so those on PlayStation and Nintendo platforms will have to miss out for a little bit. The game will have native Xbox One and Xbox Series X versions come launch on January 18 along with a PC release, but there’s no word on if there are plans to bring it to other consoles just yet. Drinkbox tends to release its games on as many platforms as possible, though, so one has to imagine thatNobody Saves the Worldcoming to other systems is a matter of when instead of if. Anyone that wants to play the game at launch will have to do so through PC or on an Xbox console, however.
Nobody Saves the Worldlaunches January 18 for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
