The upcoming release of Symphonia, a visually stunning side-scrolling platformer, promises to bring a world of music and mystery to life on December 5. Published by Headup Games and developed by Sunny Peak, Symphonia will launch across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
In the realm of Symphonia, music is more than just sound; it’s the very essence of life and energy. However, since the founders of this world and their orchestra vanished, Symphonia has been slowly falling silent, its inhabitants divided and without direction. The story centers around Philemon, a mysterious violinist with the power to change everything.
The violin and bow serve as both musical instruments and tools for traversal, enabling you to propel yourself through the game’s beautifully crafted landscapes. By solving intricate platforming challenges, you re-activate the machinery that once powered Symphonia with music, bringing life back to its various regions. In your travels, your will encounter prodigious musicians who may join the orchestra and help restore harmony.
Composer Olivier Esman has created an original soundtrack for Symphonia, with live recordings performed by the Scoring Orchestra Paris. The soundtrack, inspired by the Romantic musical period, features pieces that highlight each family of instruments, strings, brass, and woodwinds through in-game concerts.
