Lab Zero Games, Titmouse, and Trigger Partner on Indivisible

CALABASAS, CA. – December 6, 2016 -- One year after its wildly successful crowdfunding campaign came to an end, 505 Games and Lab Zero have announced they are collaborating with the animation production company Titmouse and anime studio Studio Trigger on the highly anticipated action/RPG game, Indivisible.

Titmouse, the Emmy award-winning animation studio behind shows such as Metalocalypse, Superjail!, Venture Bros., and Motor City, will be storyboarding an opening animation sequence for the Southeast Asian-inspired title. TRIGGER, part of the Ultra Super Pictures group, will be executing the final product and showcasing a behind-the-scenes look at anime production. Both companies were hand-picked by Lab Zero Games to help bring Indivisible's vibrant story to life; production on the animation is expected to begin in the 2nd quarter of 2017.

The opening animation will be directed by Studio Trigger's Yoh Yoshinari. Yoshinari is a legendary animator, who worked on anime classics Neon Genesis Evangelion and FLCL, is the director of the popular TRIGGER anime Little Witch Academia, and worked on character designs for the Valkyrie Profile series.

Indivisible garnered incredible industry buzz last year when Lab Zero and 505 games team announced a unique partnership – Lab Zero raised funds using Indiegogo, and once they reached their funding goal, 505 Games matched the rest of the development budget needed to complete the game.

Indivisible stars Ajna (AHZH-na), a girl who sets out on a globe-spanning journey to discover the truth behind her mysterious powers. On her quest, she is joined by a diverse cast of unique heroes, who grant her new abilities to traverse the environments and defeat the enemies they encounter along the way. Built around the colorful characters and deep gameplay Lab Zero is known for, Indivisible takes a fresh spin on action/RPG gameplay, featuring a storyline inspired by Southeast Asian and other world mythologies. Lab Zero's trademark feature-quality 2D hand-drawn animation and a lush soundtrack from legendary Secret of Mana composer Hiroki Kikuta further enrich and enhance the game.

In addition to today's announcement, to celebrate Indivisible's one year anniversary Lab Zero has also released a gorgeous dynamic theme for the PlayStation 4. Completely free to the entire gaming community, the theme features a beautiful hand-painted environment, hand-drawn 2D animation, custom icons, and a new song from Hiroki Kikuta.

The Indivisible prototype is available FREE for download for Windows, Mac, Linux, Steam and PlayStation 4 at www.indivisiblegame.com
