Hey, backers! We're right on the cusp of hitting 700k and revealing another Incarnation, but we couldn't wait to let you know about a couple of exciting things before that.
First, we received confirmation from Sony EU that the prototype will be available for download on EU PSN for PS4 on November 10th!! Ahh, more Indivisible goodness for the world to enjoy. Be sure to tell your friends to try it out and to support the campaign if they enjoy it!
Next, here's the next guest character for the game, adapted to Indivisible's overall art style:
Juan, from Guacamelee
Guacamelee is an incredibly fun exploratory platformer by the wonderful folks at DrinkBox Studios. We're honored to have the opportunity to bring Juan into the world of Indivisible to make things a little more caliente!
Stay tuned for more updates soon!

Wow, backers! We're now well over 650k, and more than 10,000 backers total. That absolutely blows us away!
Let's dive right in. We're happy to introduce you to the next Incarnation:
~ Baozhai of the Black Jade ~
A true demon of the sea, Baozhai of the Black Jade and her armada are feared and despised by the naval fleets of both the Iron Kingdom and the Jade Dynasty. Though said to be a crude, ruthless pirate, she calls herself an entrepreneur. For years her crews have routinely attacked illicit Soma shipping routes and blockaded ports involved with the Soma drug trade. Many believe she simply steals for her own gain, yet rumors of a more humanitarian motive persist.
Neither empire have yet been able to hinder her, but the sea can be a cruel mistress indeed. A recent encounter with a massive sea monster decimated her forces and destroyed many of their vessels. Land-locked but not deterred, Baozhai is determined to rebuild a new crew and head back out to sea.
By now we're sure you've heard that Indivisible will feature quite a few guest characters. Here's the scoop on our first guest character, through the lens of Indivisible:
Shovel Knight, from Shovel Knight
If you haven't played the fantastic Shovel Knight from Yacht Club Games, you really owe it to yourself to check it out. We think you'd dig it.
We'll be unearthing even more guest character artwork in the coming days, so keep an eye out for that!
We hope you were able to join us for the AMA we held on Reddit yesterday. The whole team joined in to answer all sorts of questions about Indivisible, Skullgirls, and various aspects of game development and design. But if you missed it, fret not! You can still read the whole thread here:

We passed 600k!!! There really are no words to properly express how grateful we are for your support in getting us this far. We are in it to win it, and we're glad you're here with us!
A couple of reminders in case you missed them in the last update:
- The prototype is now available on PS4 for North American PSN! EU PSN should be approved for release soon. We'll let you know.
- Lab Zero Games will be holding an AMA on Reddit in /r/IAmA today, November 4th, at 3:00PM Pacific / 6:00PM Eastern. It's been approved with the lovely mods over there and it's all set to be a blast!
The exciting announcement we alluded to in a previous update is this:
Indivisible will feature a fantastic lineup of guest characters! And yes, all of them will be playable. Here's the list we've announced:
-
Annie from Skullgirls
-
Calibretto from Battle Chasers
-
The Drifter from Hyper Light Drifter
-
Juan from Guacamelee
-
Lea from Curses N' Chaos
-
Shovel Knight from Shovel Knight
-
Zackasaurus from Super Time Force Ultra
We will adapt each character to the Indivisible's art style, and incorporate their abilities and personalities into the game's distinctive battle system.
Watch for updates showing off the visual design of each of these characters in the coming days!
A big THANK YOU to the wonderful folks at Autumn, Airship Syndicate, Heart Machine, DrinkBox, Tribute, Yacht Club and Capybara for believing in Lab Zero and giving us these awesome opportunities!
And don't start thinking we've forgotten about our 50k milestones! Here is the next Incarnation:
George
George is a dragon slayer of the highest prestige. As a special class of soldier from the Iron Kingdom, it is his duty to travel through the regions of the empire and quell any troublesome monsters or demons. His lance Scalesbane, crafted along with his chainmail from remnants of his first kill, has proven quite effective in his battles against unholy creatures.
The Iron Kingdom is rapidly growing through aggressive campaigns of conquest, but George cares not for their policies or politics. His authority extends to the borders of the empire, yet he knows that greater evils lurk in every corner of the world.
Finally, yet another Incarnation got the intro video treatment. We proudly reintroduce you to Narssus:
Again, we can't thank you enough for your support. Now go forth and tell your friends about the good news!

Hey, backers! Hope you've had a great weekend! This update is STACKED, so pull up a comfy chair.
The first piece of news is that the prototype will be coming out on PS4 in North America this Tuesday, November 3rd! You'll be able to download it for free on PSN when the PlayStation Store gets updated sometime that day. The EU version is in testing at Sony and we hope to have a release date for that soon.
The very day after that, on Wednesday, November 4th at 3:00 PM PST, the Lab Zero team will be hosting an AMA on Reddit! Come ask the team your burning questions.
Perhaps you've been waiting patiently for the other reason for this update: the new Incarnation reveal for the campaign blasting past 550k! Here she is:
Toko (十子)
Toko is one of the only surviving Resolute in Yashima, forced into hiding after a failed rebellion. Of her nine siblings, she is the only one who survived the resulting massacre. Though almost unbearable, she views these trials as a test of faith, and they serve only to strengthen her belief.
To the Resolute, Kala's appearance marks the beginning of the end of days, and thus the beginning of their task to save as many unenlightened souls as possible before the final judgement.
Blessed with great skill and seemingly divine strength of will, Toko vows to vanquish the evils of this land. Her faith, like her blade, is straight and true, unwavering in its conviction. Learning more about the true source of her power, however, will put her devotion to the ultimate test.
Yet another character got the special treatment with this Phoebe introduction video:
If you can believe it, this one is also narrated by the illustrious Mike Z.
There are quite a few Incarnations to keep track of now, so we've gathered them up into one easy-to-find place: labzerogames.com/indiv-incarnations
We have an awesome announcement coming up that will coincide with the release of the prototype on Tuesday, so stay tuned! This ain't over yet!
