Amerzone: The Explorer’s Legacy is back, and it’s looking better than ever. Microids and Microids Studio Paris have officially announced that this reimagined version of Benoît Sokal’s 1999 classic will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on April 24. Even better? A demo is available right now, and your progress carries over to the full game when it drops.
A legendary journey, remade for modern explorers
If you were around when Amerzone first hit the scene, you’ll know it was a game that left its mark. With its deep storytelling and stunning artwork, it pulled players into a mysterious world brimming with secrets. More than a million copies sold later, it remains a standout in the adventure game genre.
Now, this remake is set to bring that same magic to a new generation—only this time with revamped puzzles, updated visuals, and brand-new challenges that promise a fresh but faithful experience.
At its heart, Amerzone: The Explorer’s Legacy is a story-driven adventure packed with discovery, mystery, and a touch of the surreal. You play as a journalist fulfilling the dying wish of a legendary explorer—to retrieve the last egg of the mythical Great White Birds.
The journey takes you deep into a forgotten land, a Latin American-inspired world reclaimed by nature. It’s eerie, beautiful, and filled with remnants of a troubled past. Along the way, you’ll:
- Unravel a forgotten legend – Piece together the history of the Great White Birds and uncover the truth behind Amerzone’s lost civilisation.
- Solve intricate puzzles – Navigate ancient ruins, decipher cryptic clues, and outthink obstacles standing between you and your goal.
- Meet fascinating characters – Every person you encounter has their own story, motives, and secrets to uncover.
- Master the hydraflot – This unique, amphibious vehicle will be your lifeline, helping you travel across land, water, and sky as you push forward into the unknown.
This isn’t just a nostalgia trip—it’s a reimagining of a classic, capturing the essence of Benoît Sokal’s vision while bringing it to life with modern enhancements. The game’s poetic, immersive atmosphere blends exploration with a deeper message, weaving realism with wonder in a way only Amerzone can.
