After we got down to launch Newfound Braveness on Xbox, we determined to try the sport because it at the moment stands. The suggestions we’ve acquired is nice; individuals love the music, story and artwork. However our gamers need extra. We knew we may do even higher, so our recreation has been recreated for the Xbox launch.
We all the time felt visible artwork was a weak level within the recreation. It was too static and generic. About 100% of the environmental artwork has been enhanced. We revised all characters and, in some circumstances, utterly redesigned them. There may be improved dynamic lighting, wind, and particle results. The artwork feels extra alive and animated.

A contemporary solid of distinctive characters, otherworldly sceneries and a deep delve into Alex’s previous grants the general recreation a brand new edge. This moreover gave us the prospect to create extra music, and the remake consists of roughly six new tracks, together with an eerie carnival piece.
