Konami today announced it will publish a sequel to last year’s popular survival adventure game Lost in Blue, which received a 9.3 out of 10 on Game Freaks 365. Titled Lost in Blue 2, the game will be released for the Nintendo DS in early 2007. Players must think about how they will survive in their environment. Initially, this involves finding food and weapons, before exploring the island. But, as in real life, exploration is tiring, so the pair must rest, drink water to avoid dehydration, and find further means of sustenance – especially as the mountainous nature of the island also necessitates the heroes climbing steep rock faces and hills.
The original Lost in Blue won a legion of fans with its clever setting and compelling use of the Nintendo DS’ capabilities. For Lost in Blue 2, the game will continue to take advantage of the handheld system’s unique features and provide an even more extreme adventure. The player is cast as a young man who, along with a female friend, are washed up on the beach of an apparently deserted island. Working together, the pair must search for a way off the island as well as survive the many dangers that lay ahead.
