Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Devolver Digital announced Volvy's Adventure: Reslimed, a 2D action game starring its mascot character Volvy. Developed by doinksoft, it releases November 19 on PC via Steam, with pre-orders open and Japanese display supported. The game is framed as a remaster of an unreleased remake of a fictional classic, and Devolver has long promised a same-day release alongside Grand Theft Auto VI.
Devolver Digital has been teasing a same-day release alongside Grand Theft Auto VI for some time, and the mystery game is finally out in the open. Volvy's Adventure: Reslimed stars Volvy, the rat-like mascot with one large hand and a hat, who appeared at the 2023 Devolver Direct showcase. The fictional backstory claims Volvy became popular through a game called Field Run over 30 years ago, a false history the company has leaned into across promotions.
Gameplay has Volvy smashing obstacles, grinding on rails, and swinging with his oversized hand across four worlds to rescue a kidnapped friend. Collecting onions transforms him into the muscular Swolvy. Devolver says the title was originally planned as a surprise Game Boy Color release before being judged worthy of a larger platform, and it was brought to the company long before GTA6 became a topic. A console release is planned for a later date.
