Lots of penguins in Penny’s Big Breakaway too

Recommended Videos

Today’s Nintendo Direct is full of surprises. In addition to some excellent RPG news, we’ve got some info about interesting original titles as well. A prime example of this is Penny’s Big Breakaway, a new 3D platformer from the team behind Sonic Mania.

While the game itself doesn’t have too many similarities to the typical Blue Blur video game, it does promise a speedrun-centric slant with its Time Attack mode. More importantly, we got lots of yo-yo based attacks, which the titular Penny can modify with various snack-based power-ups. We can already find mentions of unlockable bonus items and secret stages, so it looks like this one will lean heavy on replay value.

Fortunately, this title won’t be a Nintendo Switch exclusive. Penny’s Big Breakaway will launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch in Early 2024.
