One of the greatest opportunities that adventure games can offer players is the ability to see things that they have never seen before or experience things from a different angle. Hela promises to give gamers the chance to do both. The cozy co-op game allows players to control a mouse as they explore a vast world from the smaller perspective. Today, a new trailer for the game dropped, showing off more of the game’s terrain, mechanics, and characters.
According to the Steam store page, Hela follows the journey of a witch’s familiars on a quest to help cure her sickness. This can only be done by venturing out into the Scandinavian landscape in search of potion ingredients. Along the way, players will be faced with puzzles and tricky environments to slow their progress. These can range from natural barriers like forests and lakes to everyday objects that now seem massive compared to the characters. In addition to the main goal, players will also have the chance to perform smaller actions that can have positive consequences in the future.
In the newest trailer for the Hela, the narrator introduces the mice and encourages them to journey out, prompting a series of clips from the game itself. The familiars are seen gliding down to relatively massive ponds and using their tools to turn windmills or pull toy cars. The moments also show off the lush environments the game takes place in, adding to the natural feeling of the game. During the trailer accolades from Gamescom appear on the screen, marking the game as an entertaining and wholesome experience.
Hela promises to provide players with a calming adventure. It will be available to be played solo or as a multiplayer experience. While there is no specific release date yet, the new trailer ends by announcing the game will be coming in 2026.
