Monument Valley 3 breaks the series’ old boundaries by adding a sailboat

During , some more details about Monument Valley 3 emerged. Developer Ustwo Games says the builds on its predecessors in several ways, especially in terms of the gameplay, art style and story.

Perhaps the biggest change in Monument Valley 3 is the introduction of sailing. You’ll be able to move the boat in almost any direction and, as such, “the game is no longer restricted to geometric spaces,” game director Jennifer Estaris said during a call with reporters. Along with unfolding cubes that shift new protagonist Noor onto different planes, Monument Valley 3 is in large part about “deconstructing what we know,” Estaris said.

Naturally, those changes allow for fresh puzzles and visuals as players navigate impossible-looking, MC Escher-style architectural spaces. Aligned with that, Ustwo has evolved the art style with softer and more abstract shapes (you are going to be navigating rivers after all). The result is something that looks very familiar, but like a hazy memory. Meanwhile, the soundtrack from an 18-piece orchestra might just stir up some emotions.

While the original game was about forgiveness and its sequel was a coming-of-age tale, Monument Valley 3 focuses on the themes of hope, togetherness and resilience. Noor is a lighthouse keeper’s apprentice who is tasked with searching for a new source of power before light fades away from the world forever. It’s the “most ambitious story” to date for a Monument Valley game, according to Ustwo marketing manager Jamie Wotton.

All three Monument Valley games are standalone titles with their own stories. That means you’ll be able to glide right into Monument Valley 3 without playing the previous two entries.
