LOS ANGELES — The follow-up to indie hit Limbo hit the big stage this morning.

Microsoft announced Inside at its Electronic Entertainment Expo press conference today. Inside is the follow-up from developer Playdead, the studio that previously made the acclaimed Limbo for the Xbox 360 (and later most other systems).

Like Limbo, Inside is a 2D platformer with muted colors and a somber tone. It’s set in a dystopian future and features and, like Limbo, features a child as the hero.

Inside is coming to the Xbox One early in 2015.
