Latin American Games Showcase: despelote

Experience a slice-of-life story about childhood set in Quito, Ecuador back in 2001. In Despelote, players will embody eight-year-old Julián as he explores the town, playing with a soccer ball, and connecting to others.

Here's what you can expect from despelote:

  • A narrative set in Quito, Ecuador during the year 2001.
  • A semi-autobiographical tale of youth.
  • Explore the town, find activities and interactions, and get into mischief.
  • Kick a physics-based soccer ball around while playing.
  • A stylised game with a cast of characters to meet.
  • Photo and audio recorded in Ecuador were used to create immersive sound.

Check out the trailer shown during the Latin American Games Showcase! If you like what you see, despelote is available now on Steam, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, Xbox X|S, and Nintendo Switch
