Hello Midgardians! ATONE: Heart of the Elder Tree, the upcoming title from our friends at Untold Tales and Wildboy Studios, launches in just 10 short days, so we wanted to provide a nice snippet of combat and a preview of the incredible soundtrack that awaits you.

Keep focused and stick to the rhythm and you'll land a strike. But make too many mistakes and it'll cost you! If you find yourself struggling or unable to vanquish your enemies, there's always Normal Moe which makes the notes appear on 2 rails only. There is also Story Mode, where combat is entirely winnable, every time, allowing you to focus on the incredible narrative.

- Guitar Hero meets Life is Strange? You've got it. - 15 July 2022
Hello folks! We've got a story to share with you. Our friends from Hyperstrange are releasing a passion project of theirs. It’s called LOUD and it’s a wholesome, rhythm guitar arcade game fuelled by early 2000's inspired pop-punk / emo riffs and a classic coming-of-age story. The team is releasing it first on Nintendo Switch, and just a tad later here on Steam. Here’s the launch trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62O7Xy0ir_Y&ab_ These days, there aren’t a lot of new rhythm guitar games out there, let alone one with a story so they figured they would try fill this little gap. All the songs are custom written by them, and the story takes you on a journey of 16 year old Astrid as she goes from playing air guitar in her bedroom to signing her first deal with a talent scout. It’s like a mix of Guitar Hero meets Life is Strange. If this sounds like your kind of jam, check it out on the…

Greetings Travellers! It's been a long time since our latest update, so here is what has happened: In October we ran out of money and were forced to find a more reliable source of income. Fortunately we were both able to take up work at Zaxis Games working on their upcoming Viking game called Fimbul. Later in January Mathias became a father and Rune started working at Flashbulb Games on the game Trailmarkers. This has left us with little time for Utopia 9... Award Nomination However, in March we were nominated for an award in the category Best Danish Language Game in the danish game awards Spilprisen, which makes us very proud. Regardless of the outcome, we appreciate being taken serious by the industry and being recognized for our hard work, even if we have only been two guys working on the game for most part. TV Interview The day after being nominated, we were interviewed for an Indie…
