Divert heads towards Switch, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox Series X / S and PC on May 1. Divert is a super elegant football match that secretly concerns life in the Ecuadorian city in Quito in 2001, and it comes from local developers Julián Cordero and Sebastián Valbuena, and published by Panic.
You play as Julián, 8, and spend your time launching the ball, meeting people and exploring life during the economic resumption of the equator just before the unifying World Cup of 2002. The city in the Game includes real photographs of places around Quito, but the backgrounds are covered in a layer of high contrast grain, while people and the football ball are distinguished as line drawings. The audio has also been recorded on site, and the result is a game that looks like a soothing memory.
Divert was announced in 2023 and originally due to land in 2024, but he now has a firm date of May 1. He has already taken a handful of distinctions, including four nominations at 2025 independent Games Festival. There is a steam demoIf you are intrigued.
