LONDON - 31st January 2023 – Today, BAFTA-award-winning studio, ustwo games, announces that Desta: The Memories Between will be coming to PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch in the form of a huge game bundle on Wednesday 26th April 2023. Head to the Steam page to add Desta to your wishlist!


Desta: The Memories Between is a character-driven tactics game which allows you to explore a beautiful, multi-dimensional dream world – all through a tactical and physics-based ball game. Led by ustwo games’ first non-binary protagonist, Desta - players will meet a variety of fully voiced and highly charismatic characters that are all part of Desta’s journey. As players throw each ball, more about Desta and their relationships to their friends and family are revealed - with plenty of mystery and big emotion waiting for you to explore.


The game will also be coming to new platforms with a brand-new look: Dream Team Edition. This exclusive version will include the base Desta: The Memories Between game, all major content updates, as well as a 52-page Digital Art Book and complete game soundtrack.  Dream Team Edition also offers more flexibility for every type of player, featuring:
 
  • Shortcuts for story-focused gamers, 
  • Challenge Mode for players wanting to take their tactics to the next level with a variety of surprising and unique challenges to overcome outside of the core game experience, and
  • Nightmare Mode, a first for ustwo games, is an ultra hardcore gameplay experience for those wanting to fully immerse themselves in the roguelike memories between. 


“We’re really excited to bring Desta to new platforms. Even more players will be able to enjoy its story, gameplay and characters, falling even deeper into Desta’s dream with our Dream Team Edition. We’ve packed this bundle with so many new abilities, characters, game modes and more - I can’t wait for our community to get their hands on it in the coming weeks.


Whether you are an experienced tactics player or this is your very first time trying one out, we believe Desta: The Memories Between (Dream Team Edition) has something for every type of player” said Lead Designer on Desta, Joel Beardshaw.”

Starting in December 2022, ustwo games will be donating up to £81,000 in the form of grants to local youth organisations across the UK. The UK-based studio will also donate £27,000 of unrestricted funding to UK Youth support activities during the cost-of-living crisis.
