The Lost Legends of Redwall is an exciting series of six adventure games. They are available for computers (Windows and macOS) and Xbox One. The games were made by a company called Soma Games.
This game series is special because it's the first official video game based on the popular Redwall books. The books have been around since 1986! The game project started after a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2013. Kickstarter helps people get money to create new projects.
The game's name changed a few times during its creation. It was first called Redwall: The Adventure Game. Then it became Redwall: The Warrior Reborn and Epic Tales of Redwall. Finally, it got its current name.
The games tell a brand new story in the Redwall world. This story happens before and during the first Redwall book. You'll meet characters and visit places from the novel. The first episode, "The Scout," came out on Steam in late 2017. The full version was released in September 2018. Later, it also came out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. More episodes are planned for the future!
