The trailer introduces us to Mio, an android who emerges from a structure made of wires into a strange world set inside a giant spaceship. The trailer showed off a range of abilities including a grappling hook, a glide and a mid-air launch. Movement appears to be a major part of the gameplay, even in combat. The whole game is presented in a sketchy painted style.

Mio: Memories in Orbit is being developed by Douze Dixiemes, a French studio who previously developed Shady Part of Me, a gothic puzzle platformer. It will be published by Focus Entertainment, who previously published the A Plague Tale series, Greedfall and multiple Warhammer and Aliens projects.

Mio: Memories in Orbit is set to release for Nintendo Switch in 2025.
