Unravel is the most un-EA game that I think EA will ever publish, but I can’t help but be glad that the little Yarny that can is getting a chance to shine in the big leagues. Yarny and his platforming antics made all the right headlines when Unravel was revealed at E3, and it’s stayed a talking point throughout the year. And next year won’t give much more time for talking, as Yarny is set to make a debut really early.
In the new, tear foreshadowing narrative trailer for Unravel developers Coldwood Interactive reveal that Yarny and his journey will debut on PC, Xbox One and PS4 as early as February 9th, for a cool $20 (or R200 on Origin, and thereabout on console). The new trailer in question doesn’t reveal much else new, but does show off more of the tantalising platforming puzzles that Yarny and you will face when the game is out. It’s also just as gorgeous as always.
It’s hard not to look at Unravel and imagine a heart-breaking tale waiting behind the woolly exterior of its protagonist, especially with the narrative peek above giving us a sense that Yarny is a poor lost soul trying to get back home. Seeing him all thin and worn isn’t just a narrative set-piece but rather a mechanic of the game too, as Yarny thins out should you choose to explore recklessly around the areas you’re free to explore.
Unravel is really looking like something special – just as it did when it was revealed on stage a few months ago. February just got a lot more exciting.

This game looks so beautiful. I’m so going to give this a try. It’ll be a refreshing change from continually combating demons, mutants, psychos, twisted science experiments and a plethora of other nasty beings.

They celebrate Christmas?!?!?! I thought they’d just sacrifice a couple of babies, light a few homeless people on fire and urinate on stray animals.

Busted….
But we didn’t urinate on the stray animals. That’s going WAAAAAY too far. What kind of sicko do you think I am?!

I hope that 4 year old hardware in your console can “run” fast enough, otherwise this PC is gonna catch you XD

At this rate $20 wont equal R200 anymore, lets just say R2000 and be done with it. XD

I’m so against pre-orders but this is kind of a force of card swipe because of our exchange.

This game looks like it has tons of heart! And that is a rare thing in gaming these days. I am buying this as soon as it is released.
