The next game from the creators of Guacamelee! is just around the corner, as Drinkbox Studios revealed this week that Nobody Saves the World will be released on January 18th.

This top-down action RPG features online co-op so you can invite a friend to help you, and an interesting transformation system that lets players become different creatures in order to complete quests and save the world. The developers are very keen to inform gamers that Nobody Saves the World is quite different from most RPGs, as it doesn’t focus on grinding endless kills in order to level up and become stronger, instead featuring a rather interesting progression system based on the quests the player completes.

Nobody Saves the World will be available on PC through Steam and Xbox Game Pass for PC.
