Despelote We will be heading to Switch, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on May 1. Despelote It is a super stylish football game that secretly tells the life of the Ecuadorian city of Quito in 2001. It comes from local developers Julián Cordero and Sebastián Valbuena and published by Panic.
You play Julián, 8, and spend your time playing football, meeting people and exploring life during Ecuador’s economic recovery. The city in the game includes actual photos of places around Quito, but the background is covered with high contrast grit while the man and football balls serve as distinct line drawings. The audio is also recorded in location, and the result is a game that looks and sounds like a soothing memory.
Despelote It was announced in 2023, initially due to land in 2024, but the current date of determination is May 1. It has received some honors, including four nominations at the Independent Games Festival 2025. If you are interested, there will be a demo.
