Solo Dev Morph Puts Trillionaire Mercenaries of 21XX Demo on itch.io
The demo is English-only and the full game is not due until November 2027, so Morph is using an early build to find an audience well before the release and before the promised Japanese display support arrives.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
Solo developer Morph has released a demo of Trillionaire Mercenaries of 21XX on itch.io. The stealth action adventure is set in 21XX, on an Earth swallowed by the sea, where three corporate nations fight over remaining territory and race to build an Artificial God. Players infiltrate as mercenaries, marking enemies, using optical camouflage, and extracting knocked-out soldiers to the offshore base Stillwater. The full game is scheduled for November 9, 2027.
Morph cites Metal Gear Solid V and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker as inspirations. The extraction loop owes to the former: knock out enemy soldiers, recover them to the offshore base Stillwater, and add them to your forces, with more than 100 playable characters unlockable according to the developer.
The open ocean is traversed by boat between polar facilities, resorts, futuristic cities, and scattered islands, with hang gliders and light bikes for field movement. Two-player local split-screen co-op is planned for the whole story, with online player-versus-player battles and light bike races also planned. The full version will support Japanese display.
