Cozy Platformer Dono’s Tale Launching Next Year

Inspired by the 16- and 32-bit era greats, Super Item Studios announced that their cozy platformer Dono’s Tale is set to launch next year.

Starring the titular bowtie-wearing dragon protagonist Dono, Dono’s Tale will have players jumping, dashing, climbing, and shooting through seven detailed and colorful worlds as they collect precious fruit.

Dono’s Tale Now live on Kickstarter!

Super Item Studios developer Dagoberto “Dago” Duarte said the following:

“Dono’s Tale is a love letter to the 2D Platformers I grew up with.

Specifically, I was inspired by favorites like Yoshi’s Island, Mega Man X, Donkey Kong Country, and even some more obscure titles like Astal and Silhouette Mirage. 

Dono’s fast-paced gameplay takes inspiration from speedrunning and fighting games like Super Smash Bros Melee, Super Mario 64, Street Fighter Alpha 2, and even Devil May Cry, while some of the graphical elements and color palettes are influenced by other media such as the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure series. 

As to our creative process, we revisit our favorite scenarios, break down what made them so fun and memorable, and reimagine those elements in a new way. 

The result is a game that feels both nostalgic and familiar, yet new and full of surprises.

We hope you enjoy it!”

Dono’s Tale is slated to release in early 2026 on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC (via Steam, GOG, and itch.io), PlayStation 5, and Xbox.
