Developer Awaceb and publisher Kepler Interactive have announced that the open-world island adventure Tchia has soul-jumped its way into the hearts and minds of more than 1 million players six weeks after its launch to critical acclaim on PlayStation consoles and PC. They have also opened pre-orders for PS4 and PS5 physical versions of Tchia launching on 18 July 2023.

Awaceb’s brand-new physical version of Tchia, distributed in partnership with Maximum Games, hits PS4 and PS5 on 18 July 2023 and is available to pre-order now from select retailers. The physical Oléti edition includes a cosmetic pack inspired by Kepler Interactive’s family of games. Customize your boat, ukulele, glider and even Tchia’s outfit with items and looks from Kepler’s suite of games including Sifu, Scorn, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn and Cat Quest-inspired designs.

Tchia puts players in the shoes of a young adventurer, Tchia, who ventures out to save her father from the grips of the archipelago’s tyrannical ruler, Meavora. With an army of mindless minions to face down called the Maano, players will have to use their creativity as well as some mystical tools – including soul-jumping and a magical ukulele – to defeat the fabric creatures one and for all. Along the way, players will immerse themselves in a world inspired by the small island nation of New Caledonia, from its unique landmarks and biomes to the unique culture of the people who call it home. Praised by critics for its charming physics-based sandbox that begs to be explored and sense of childlike wonder, Tchia offers a breathtaking look at a part of the world many have never seen before.

Tchia is available now for PS5, PS4 and PC via the Epic Games Store.
