Don't forget to keep your head screwed on as Airhead is coming in 2021

Handy Games have announced that they are working with Octato, a Swedish indie studio, to bring Airhead to consoles and PC in 2021. The game might appear to be a basic exploratory platformer, but as Body, you will have to chase your Head down, as the two are separated by a strange machine, which discards the Head, but keeps the heart; check out the announcement trailer below.

As the heart is taken away, Body jumps into action to save the abandoned Head. You must use the air tanks scattered around the world to keep Head inflated and uncover the true connection behind the stolen heart and the technology that litters your dystopian world. Wrap your head around unique mechanics and experience brave exciting gameplay, all while collecting sweet upgrades.

Dive into deep dark caverns, explore ancient structures and survive an industrial dystopia to solve the mystery of Head's significance in this world. Experience a beautiful art style while being filled with a sense of responsibility and urgency to help your friend. With a heavy focus on puzzle solving, this unusual challenge will require you to use your Head and Body both separately and together.

"We are incredibly happy to become a part of the HandyGames family. Their devotion to games and the people who play them has been clear from the start and we’re confident that HandyGames are the right people to help us share Airhead with the world." - Jacob Honore (CEO and Producer, Octato)

“I’m very happy to support Octato on this awesome exploration platformer, that will deliver an incredible atmosphere with constant challenges and a very unique companionship between a body and his head.” - Reinhard Döpfer (Producer, HandyGames)

The games release window is 2021 for now, but I would expect to hear more about the game, as the year goes on.
