We've been treated to another teaser of a game coming to Xbox Series X, this time from Polish developer Glob Games Studios. You can see the trailer for MicroMan above, which is said to be "a new game combining adventure, action and survival that will allow you to look at the human world from a completely new perspective."
According to an official press release, the game is being developed with single-player in mind. The plot is centred around a laboratory worker who gets shrunk to the size of an insect, and embarks on a quest to return to his normal size. The gameplay is said to feature "face-offs with powerful enemies" and "unusual means of transport", including butterflies and skateboards.
Here's how Karol Marcinkowski, Vice President at Glob Games Studio described it:
“Our new game will allow you to look at the human world from a completely fresh perspective. MicroMan will have to face adversities that the average person would not even think of. We will provide the players with a surprising, dynamic and – at the same time – very multifaceted adventure. We will be fighting rats, running away from a hedgehog, looking for a way to get on the bus or trying to avoid getting crushed by human feet. And these are just some of the things MicroMan will offer. All this will be wrapped in stylish audio and visuals and sprinkled with a good dose of good humour”
MicroMan is currently scheduled to debut on PC in the second-half of 2021, but will later come to Xbox Series X at an unspecified date. The Nintendo Switch is the only current-gen console listed for MicroMan so far, so it seems it won't be getting a release on Xbox One as well.
What do you make of the trailer and description for MicroMan? Let us know in the comments.

There were rumors that Microsoft was buying one or two Polish game studios. Hrm....?
Sounds a lot like an adaptation of The Shrinking Man. Could be interesting!
What about Grounded? Won’t people look at both as the same game, just that one features bugs? And what’s up with the stiff movements of the human characters in both games. It looks like I’m watching footage of a game from a couple of generations ago.
It seems a more realistic looking Grounded which goes for a more child friendly cartoon aesthetic. That being said, the visuals and animation are not great - even compared to current gen offerings. I know Graphics are not the most important but they are often the first impression we get...
