At the end of May, Soma Games released another update to stakeholders, and it included some release plans for a few projects that are scheduled for 2020.

The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout Act II, originally planned for a Q4 2019 release window, is now scheduled for release this summer. According to Soma's update, The Scout Act II has been redesigned in an effort "to be more puzzle-based in order to better engage our audience."

Soma will have a presence at the upcoming Steam Game Festival, which takes place from June 6 - June 14, 2020, and will be hosting a demo of the new game. If you'll be there, let us know how it goes!

Before the end of the year, Soma plans on releasing "Soma Stories." This is described as "an interactive, text-based fiction app where the player’s choices affect the outcome of the story."

"Broadly speaking, Soma Stories is platform technology. Think something roughly similar to the Episodes app. This will allow us to release lots of different interactive stories," Soma Games Founder Chris Skaggs exclusively tells the Redwall Wiki. "We currently have three Redwall stories that we expect to release before Christmas. Whether this will be inside the Soma Stories platform, as a stand along app, or both - we’re not sure. But in addition to the three Redwall stories, two others, based on our own internal IP, are also in the works."

Also on the schedule is a project tentatively being called "Brother Roderick's Tale" - however it's still early.

"[This is] content that might be part of a stand-alone game or part of one of the adventure games," said Skaggs.

This development is believed to include "a collection of short stories, poems, songs, and lore" collected by the aforementioned Brother Rockerick throughout his Mossflower travels, and it certainly sounds very intriguing.

Get ready, Redwallers!
