Cosmi: Forbidden Forest & Beyond announced as classic game collection

Ziggurat Interactive and Empty Clip Studios have announced ‘Cosmi: Forbidden Forest & Beyond’, a collection of classic Commodore 64 titles originally published by Cosmi. The compilation features ten legendary games, including hits by designer Paul Norman such as ‘Forbidden Forest’ and ‘Beyond the Forbidden Forest’.

A central feature of the collection is a medieval-styled remake of ‘Forbidden Forest’ with updated graphics and audio, which allows players to switch between the modern remake and the original version in real time. The package also includes archival bonus materials, such as digital comics by Andy Lanning and Ant Williams, remade box art, and a digital gallery of development artifacts.

The game library spans various genres and includes titles such as ‘Aztec Challenge’, ‘Caverns of Khafka’, ‘Seal’, ‘Delta Man’, ‘Chomp!’, ‘Chernobyl: Nuclear Power Plant Simulation’, ‘Spite & Malice’, and ‘Navcom 6: The Persian Gulf Defense’. The collection is planned for release on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC, though an official release date has not yet been announced.
