During yesterday’s Nintendo Indie World Showcase, Lienzo announced Aztech Forgotten Gods, an upcoming game coming to PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox One X/S later in 2021. The game is based on the “Latinx-Futurism cyberstone colossus fighter” from Mulaka and is based on an alternative history of Mesoamerica where European powers never arrived.
Achtli and her mother Nantsin are searching for ancient knowledge. In their search, however, a disaster occurs that awakens stone colossi bent on destruction. The accident has changed Achtli both physically and mentally including the arrival of “someone in her head named Tez claiming his own divinity”.
Features include:
- discover why the gods disappeared
- crush colossi
- battle massive bosses
- learn to fight with Achtli’s new gauntlet and jetpack
- fly, run on walls, grind on rails, and use devastating strikes to defeat enemies
- upgrade the gauntlet
- explore Tenochtitlan
- follow the main quest and unlock optional side stories
- unlock new outfits and passive abilities through secondary challenges in the hub-world
“Lienzo’s proud to be fleshing out a Mexican story with a Mexican team,” said Guillermo Vizcaino, Head of PR and Marketing and Lead Writer. “There’s such a rich history behind the Aztecs, and merging that with an anime-inspired story gave us the chance to make something really special.”
