Originally released in 1998 for Nintendo 64 and later for PlayStation and PC, Glover is a 3D platform game with a unique concept. Players take on the role of an animated glove, tasked with manipulating a bouncing ball through a series of puzzles and challenges. With its six worlds and 30 levels combining skill and reflection, the game has carved out a special place in the platforming landscape.
Now Glover is set to return in an HD remastered version, which promises visual improvements while retaining its original charm. A new trailer has also been unveiled, showcasing modernised graphics and updated gameplay. The icing on the cake is that a physical version of the game is planned for Nintendo Switch via Limited Run Games.
The wait won't be long: the remaster of Glover will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch from 27 February.
As a reminder, Glover features an unlucky magician whose spell goes awry, causing him to lose his enchanted gloves. One of them becomes evil after falling into a mysterious potion, while the other - the game's hero - goes on a quest to find the lost crystals and save the Crystal Kingdom from chaos.
With its mix of puzzles, platforming and action, Glover offers an original experience based on the mastery of glove and ball movements. This remaster promises adjustments for smoother, more accessible gameplay on modern consoles.
