Originally released for iOS on April 3, 2014, Monument Valley quickly became a classic for its unique use of optical illusion gameplay. The game, known for its mind-bending landscapes and visual design inspired by classical art and architecture, will be celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
Consequently, players must embark on a journey of forgiveness through a series of meditative and calming artistic puzzles. Players can control different monuments and create evolving paths to explore a new surreal and mysterious world. By doing so, the game challenges players to be creative and introspective.
Furthermore, the game won various awards soon after its release. These include two BAFTAs and an Apple Design Award. The original game and its first sequel, Monument Valley 2 , released in June 2017, have collectively amassed over 160 million downloads across mobile and desktop. The developers also added an expansion pack to the original Monument Valley in November 2014. Both games will make their debut on Netflix Games sometime in 2024.
“ Monument Valley holds a special place in the hearts of not only everyone here at ustwo games, but more importantly among its global community of fans,” said Danny Gray, COO at ustwo games.
ustwo games is planning an entire year of exciting activities for fans of Monument Valley as part of the 10th Anniversary celebration.
