A new hand-crafted, emotional co-op adventure game, Blanc, is coming to Nintendo Switch, following the journey of a wolf cub and a fawn in a snowy world as they learn to depend on each other in order to follow the footprints of their families after being left behind in a snowstorm. This unlikely partnership in Blanc is the basis for the co-op gameplay and character-centric storytelling coming soon to the Switch.

The reveal trailer is half cinematic and half gameplay, focusing first on setting up the premise of the story for Blanc and then moving on to showcase some of the different gameplay mechanics and the same-screen co-op playstyle. The game resembles other co-op games like It Takes Two, but still has a unique flare that is entirely its own, focusing on the emotional story of the wolf cub and fawn as they traverse the world together.

The trailer goes into detail about the gameplay, highlighting the concept of using the individual strengths of the wolf cub and the fawn to overcome certain obstacles, but also relying on combining the strengths of the two in order to truly succeed.

The trailer shows the wolf cub and fawn working together to move obstacles, create different routes for each other, and even give each other boosts to reach different areas.

The trailer reveals more details about the game: it is a text-free adventure that has both local couch co-op as well as online co-op options, giving players many options for how they want to engage in the multiplayer. Similar to games like It Takes
