In an exciting update from indie developer Chibig, the enchanting world of Elusive has been brought back into the spotlight. Previously titled “Elusive People” during its initial announcement in 2022, this metroidvania adventure game is now re-emerging with fresh vigor. Scheduled for release in 2027, Elusive is being developed for multiple platforms, including Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Switch 2, and PS5.
In an effort to support the finishing touches on the game, Chibig has launched a Kickstarter campaign, seeking an additional €40,000. The enthusiasm surrounding the project is evident as it has already surpassed its initial funding goal.

Beneath the surface lies a rich world filled with adventures and resources, enticing the elusive raiders to embark on missions to secure vital materials for their community. The challenge, however, is to remain unseen by the looming threats of animals and oversized creatures.
