Tlön Industries has revealed a fresh look at their upcoming 2D craftervania Kentum, alongside news that V Publishing has signed on to bring the game to Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch later this year.
The latest trailer reintroduces us to Kent — a wisecracking clone armed with little more than a stick and stubborn determination. After waking up in the year 10,000 following a nap that lasted a few thousand years too long, Kent faces a world in ruins. His mission? Craft, build, and automate his way back to civilization, one makeshift tool at a time. Thankfully, he won’t be alone, with his robotic sidekick ORB offering matter-of-fact quips and a helping hand.
But while Kent is technically immortal thanks to endless cloning, death still carries its frustrations. The world is teeming with hostile creatures, unforgiving climates, and mysteries hidden among the ruins — all waiting to put players to the test.
What to Expect in Kentum
-
Explore and Catalogue – Study the world’s plants, animals, and minerals to survive the changing seasons.
