Multi Another World

It's been some 15 years since that first dark and stormy night when Lester Chaykin's Ferrari skidded across players' screens and pulled them unwittingly into Another World, a scene subsequently repeated countless times across nearly as many platforms. More recently, the game has seen several efforts to downscale the experience for portable play from GBA to GP32 to mobile phone, but now creator Eric Chahi is set to personally bring it back up to size.

On April 14th, Chahi will release an enhanced remastered version of Another World, capable of running at high resolutions up to 1280x800 and with newer more richly detailed backgrounds, giving old fans a chance to revisit the world in a new light, and allowing new players to experience both the ecstacy of its serenity and uniquely rhythmic adventuring, and of course the agony of its signature repeat sudden deaths.

Enhanced Original

"It's a collector's re-issue, not a remake," says Chahi, "When I created Another World I was already thinking that one day it would be able to run on higher end computers. The idea was to create something that respected the original release, so the enhanced backgrounds are in harmony with the flat polygon animations. And, of course, the game in its original 16 color form will be available too."

The release of the updated Another World -- available as a free shareware version and a full version priced somewhere in the neighborhood of a Live Arcade game -- will be accompanied by the launch of an official website on the birth and history of the project, and will also serve as a portal to information on and downloads of Chahi's other (and forthcoming) work. An English version of the site is due shortly, but in the meantime the precursor site can be seen in its original French at anotherworld.fr.
