Annapurna Interactive and Graceful Decay has officially announced their new game, Uncanyon. This game is a puzzle-adventure title set in a world full of mystery. The announcement was made during State of Play on September 3, 2026.
Sonia in the Forgotten World
Players will control a character named Sonia. Sonia is a young woman who accidentally stumbles into a new world called Uncanyon. This world was once teeming with life, but is now forgotten. The hills in this world breathe. The trees change color. The land there is also constantly shifting—it never stands still.
The farther Sonia ventured, the more secrets she discovered. She also began to realize her own destiny as the hero prophesied to save this world.
Hanford Lemoore, studio head and game director of *Graceful Decay*, explained the background behind the game’s concept. According to him, it all started with a simple question: what if someone could enter an alternate reality without having to leave the one they’re currently in? From there, the idea evolved into a fully realized world of adventure.
Uncanyon Gameplay
Uncanyon It features a puzzle-first adventure style. Players will spend a lot of time exploring, solving puzzles, and collecting ancient artifacts along the way.
The core mechanics of this game revolve around Sonia’s ability to alter the environment between two different realities. This ability influences how players solve puzzles, while also opening up new paths that were previously hidden.
Sonia’s adventure takes place across five regions, each with its own unique ecosystem. These regions are semi-open, so players are free to explore them in any order they choose.
