Skeleton Crew Studios and Devolver Digital are teaming up to ensure gamers start 2021 with action, adventure, and intrigue. Prepare to set sail for Terraphage.

Olija tells the fantasy-inspired tale of a sailor named Faraday as he finds himself shipwrecked in a mysterious and dangerous new country.  Stranded with his fellow crewmates and armed with a legendary harpoon, he must use his wits, reflects and determination to find his way back home.

Luckily, gamers won't have to wait long for this journey. Thomas Olsen, the game director of Olija, recently announced the game's release date, stating,  "Arise, corsairs and sailors! Olija, our swashbuckling action-fantasy game, will set sail for adventure on PS4 January 28, 2021."

A lovingly crafted, 2D pixel art game, Olija could very well be the first breakout indie game of the new year. The game is a multi-genre mix of combat, puzzles, and free exploration all set in a mysterious foreign land. Interestingly, the game also seems to be touting that Faraday won't be able to complete his mission alone. He will need to work together with crewmates and other new characters he meets along his journey if he is to have any chance of getting back home.

Based out of Kyoto, Japan, and bosting a multinational team with members from all around the globe, gamers should see a blend of influence and culture when boarding their boats next month. Players can also expect lore based on sailor legends, adding a level of mystique to what is shaping up to be one of the unique games of the new year.

Olija lands on PS4 on January 28, 2021.
