Along with a Bonfire Peaks release date

Draknek, developer of puzzles games such as A Monster’s Expedition andSokobond, broadcast their own ‘Draknek Direct’ earlier this evening. It’s six-and-a-half minutes of puzzle game goodness, and it brings news of a free Monster’s Expedition expansion, a release date for possession-burning puzzlerBonfire Peaks, and the announcement of a brand new game.

The new game isSokobond Express, a mashup of Sokobond andCosmic Express, and you can see it and all of the above in the video below.

I’m used to the best puzzle games coming in ASCII art packages, and only one in six deigning to add some sprites. Draknek’s work has becoming increasingly polished and beautiful, however, and I am here for the slickly presented video above.

A Monster’s Expeditionexpansion is good news. It’s a puzzle game about pushing and rolling logs to navigate between islands and explore curious expeditions. In ourA Monster’s Expedition review, Jay Castello said it had a beautiful design and atmosphere that made her feel clever and made puzzle games feel accessible. (Disclosure: Former RPS staffer Pip Warr was a writer on A Monster’s Expedition.) The new, free expansion promises new puzzles and exhibits to explore, and will launch in a little over a week, on August 5th.
