Trebuchet is a studio that was founded in Montreal…you probably know them as the folks who brought us Prison Boss VR. Today they announced their new VR project Winds & Leaves will launch exclusively on PlayStation VR this Spring. Get ready for what they call- “a magnificent journey like none other where you’ll uncover mystical ancient secrets whilst re-flourishing the land!” Head below to check out some screenshots and the reveal trailer.
In Winds and Leaves, you are The Gardener, a lonely being whose sole purpose is to regrow vegetation in a barren world. This is no small deed, considering you’ll only have your stilts, some planting tools, and your limitless thirst for exploration. As you begin exploring the world, you’ll stumble upon old landmarks that you’ll have to awaken by summoning the energy of your ever-growing forests. You’ll soon realize these imposing structures are all part of a greater whole.
“We are very excited about Winds and Leaves, as it is our largest project to date. We have welcomed a bunch of new faces to our team and pushed our limits to create something unique and innovative. None of it would be possible without PlayStation’s incredible trust and support.”
Alexandre Pernot Lopes, Trebuchet Creative Director and co-founder
