  • Zephyr's Pass is a newly released RPG for GameBoy Color!
  • Wait, what? Yes, that's right, a new physical cartridge is now available for that venerable handheld.
  • And you can also get it digitally if you don't feel like fiddling with carts.

Yes, you read the title correctly. No, you haven't gone back in time; instead, you're once again seeing another new title for the long-thought-defunct Game Boy Color hit store shelves. Well, maybe not store shelves, but Zephyr's Pass is sure to be a big hit with fans of that venerable old handheld console, as it's launching as a physical cartridge today. It's courtesy of publisher Incube8, who you might recognize from the recent release Kien, and developer Providential Innovations,

In Zephyr's Pass, you play as Abel, a young man who teams up with a band of pirates to battle a mysterious villain who seeks to become the God of Wind. You'll explore the overworld and traverse Zelda-style dungeons to acquire ancient relics and gain the power needed to defeat the villain.

But what if you don’t have a Game Boy Color? Good question! And as for the answer, if you’re familiar with emulators, whether on PC or mobile, you’ll be happy to know that Zephyr’s Pass will also be available in digital format! So if you’re not into collectibles or just want to grab it for a more modern system, keep an eye out for Zephyr’s Pass Digital Edition.

Enter your pass

Even though the bedroom in that trailer looks a little, um, loose (three guesses as to why), I have to appreciate the art that went into the game itself. It definitely takes a developer with a lot of guts or a lot of passion for the venerable GameBoy Color to release a new game for it so many years later.
