Polyarc Bundles Moss and Book II Into Non-VR ‘The Forgotten Relic’ for Summer Release

The release targets players without headsets, hinting at a wider VR-to-console shift.

Overview

  • Polyarc, which announced the project Thursday via an IGN trailer and a new Steam page, set a summer 2026 launch on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and PC.
  • The Forgotten Relic combines Moss and Moss: Book II into one reworked package designed for standard screens rather than VR headsets.
  • New features include enhanced visuals and performance, fresh handcrafted cutscenes, a Smart Follow camera for flatscreen play, and the Twilight Garden DLC.
  • An accessibility option called Skip Combat lets players bypass fights, opening the puzzle-platform adventure to more skill levels and play styles.
  • This marks the series’ first non-VR release after the originals earned major awards recognition, and it follows reports of significant staff cuts at Polyarc as more VR studios refocus on console and PC.
