In less than 44 hours, Lupio Studios achieved its Kickstarter goal with their Open-World RPG The Last Worlds: Crossed Souls. Currently offering a demo on Steam with a charming anime art style that evokes Zelda, Pokémon, and Monster Hunter, it already had a head start in creating hype project before it started. With over four years of behind-the-scenes work by the Italian studio before launching the campaign, it is easy to see this first title has resonated with its intended audience.
Taking on the role of Matwin, and his fiery pet sidekick Lupio, both unique characters can be swapped at any moment during gameplay. Faced against hostile creatures in a sprawling open world, they must uncover the secrets of Planet NESS-444 in order to save it. Featuring rewarding exploration, expansive resource gathering and intricate crafting, its RPG mechanics and customization ensure no two playthroughs will be the same.

While the project has completed its funding in record time, it still has 33 days to go at time of writing, with rewards still available. Exclusive physical copies, plushies, figurines, DLC and backers’ names in the credits are up for grabs for whoever is interested in what The Last Worlds: Crossed Souls has to offer. With several stretch goals yet to be reached such as the inclusion of voice acting or translation to different languages, Lupio Studios’ solid start has a promising future.
The Last Worlds: Crossed Souls’ Kickstarter campaign with be running until Wednesday, November 5, and you can support it here. Currently, it is slated to release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC, with Kickstarter tiers starting at $25 to receive a copy of the game when it releases.
