Ess: The Lost Galaxy

 is a Japanese-American 3D platforming video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega, being a spin-off to the Puyo Puyo game series. It is to be released on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Steam and Mac on TBD 2023.

Synopsis
A huge attack at the SS Tetra gets the members kidnapped and scattered in a mysterious lost galaxy, except for Ess as the ship crash lands into a planet located there with herself in it. After surviving it, Ess embarks on a huge journey to not only recover parts to repair the ship, but also save the members that were scattered into one of six planets.

Main

 * Ess (voiced by Eden Riegel) - a bratty, yet honest, mostly calm and focused teenage girl who is the first mate of the SS Tetra and is the one to not be kidnapped, but crash lands on one planet. She is the main protagonist of the game.
 * Sparkle (vocal effects by TBD) - a crystal-like cat who Ess finds and decides to keep as a pet.

Supporting

 * Tee (voiced by Max Mittelman) - a level-headed, yet respectful and cautious man who is the leader of the SS Tetra, being kidnapped by Thanatos and located in TBD.
 * Chad (voiced by TBD) - a friendly and shy purple alien farmer who finds Ess after the attack as he helps her while she grows a crush on him.
 * Queen Cera (voiced by TBD) - the giddy queen of an Amazonian warrior race as she befriends Ess after she helped her people out.

Antagonists

 * Overlord Thanatos (voiced by TBD) - an over the top shark-like alien dictator who was responsible for Ess' crew arriving to the lost galaxy as he wants to capture and brainwash them.
 * Songenton (voiced by TBD) - Thanatos' pirahna-like henchman who is sent to seek information and prepare traps.

Gameplay
This plays like an open-zone game where you can play as Ess, roaming around in a huge planet. WIP.

Trivia

 * This is the first Puyo Puyo game to not be a puzzle-based game.
