- 10 Essential Tips Before You Dive Into MIO: Memories in Orbit - 3 February 2026
MIO: Memories in Orbit isn’t just another sci-fi metroidvania: it’s a test of skill, patience, and curiosity. Set aboard the sprawling Vessel, this handcrafted adventure demands precision platforming, strategic combat, and a willingness to experiment with powers and modifiers. Every choice matters, every shortcut counts, and every boss fight feels like a choreographed dance. Before you dive in, here are 10 essential tips to help you survive, adapt, and uncover the secrets of this haunting world. 🌌 1. MEL is your best friend 🫂Once you liberated Mel in the first area of the game, you’ll also unlock her shop at your Nexus (hub). That’s where you’ll spend your Nacre (lore name for basic currency) and your Old Cores (second currency, rarer) to buy new stuff, such as power-ups for your stats, or new modifiers for MIO’s exoskeleton. Loot Nacre and Old Cores from enemies or secret zones. Th…

- This beautiful Metroidvania blends Hollow Knight Silksong and Nier Automata, and I hate that it's slipping under the radar - 21 January 2026
I didn't really go into MIO: Memories in Orbit expecting much. I didn't play the demo, nor did I even know it existed until it was released this week. However, I was instantly captivated by the art style, and even though there are a couple of issues that keep it from reaching Hollow Knight Silksong levels of quality, it's one of the most beautiful Metroidvania games I've ever played, and you can grab it at a great discount at launch.

- Ковчег для роботов: Обзор MIO: Memories in Orbit - 19 January 2026
Мы как-то уже привыкли к тому, что метроидвании из штучных проектов превратились в сплошной поток из инди-поделок разной степени проработки, причем зачастую они не могут похвастаться оригинальными идеями. Однако редкие бриллианты никуда не делись.

Hi everyone,We’ve just revealed MIO: Memories in Orbit’s release date during the PC Gaming Show, along with a fresh new trailer showing you more of the unforgiving danger and atmospheric wonder of the game! 😁We're sorry that we couldn’t keep our 2025 target, but the wait is almost over: the game is now ready and launches on the 20th of January 2026! ⭐💛 Check out our new trailer here:In this Autumn devblog, we wanted to give you a peek behind the scenes at rigging and animation in MIO.Our first idea was to do a breakdown of Shii's rig… but well, yeah: We're not going to go there, it would be WAY too long! 😂Instead, let’s dive into mob and boss animations, specifically their attacks. When an enemy is about to hit you, we want you to be able to see it coming and have the chance to react; otherwise the game would feel unfair. That’s why we use anticipation animations.Before every attack…

- Spring Devblog 🌸 - 30 May 2025
Hello everyone!! 👾💫 It’s good to be back in the spring season! As I’m writing this blog, the sun is shining and we can feel its positive energy radiating! ☀️ 📌 Where we’re at right now! So much work has been done! We are incredibly proud of how far we've come, but we still have a long way to go. As of now, we still need to polish some specific parts of the map and catch up on cinematics and bugs that have remained unsolved after being pushed back for the last few months. Otherwise, the level designs are mostly complete! 🔧 There are still many things to do! It’s been a very long process, as every area of the game is now the result of several iterations, updates, new ideas and major changes… One of the previous main path areas - a full biome - is now completely hidden and optional! 🤫 Of course, some areas we worked on will never appear in the final game, either because the gameplay w…
- Winter Devblog ❄️ - 5 March 2025
Hi everyone! Winter is almost over! But the seasonal devblog is finally here ❄️ We hope you all enjoyed the start of 2025. It’s a big year for MIO! The game is still set for release this year—no official date yet (👀)! We’ve been working on this project for the last four years. While it’s starting to feel long, we’re still quite hyped by the game so I’d say that’s a good sign! Last stretch We’re now entering the last months of development and there’s still so many things left undone. Little polish, postprocess we wished we could have implemented and hope we will still have time to do it at the last minute. A lot of small things; this animation that stutters a bit; a room that is already cool but with a bit of time and care from our art director, could be even better; a cinematic which is fine as it is, but adding some flying particles and a little bit of camera polish would do wonders…
- Autumn Devblog 🍂 - 28 November 2024
Hey everyone! ✨ Once again we want to express our gratitude towards you for following the project. Reading your comments and seeing the wishlist grow makes us incredibly proud and excited (and a bit frightened too)! 💙 We saw that some of you are still confused with the game; in terms of challenge, let us clarify that for you! WHAT IS MIO? MIO is a metroidvania, therefore, it will be a challenging game. We often have playtesters telling us, at the beginning of their run, that they are afraid the game is going to be too casual because of the cute and poetic art style. Worry not, that is not what we aim for! So far, none of the players, testers or journalists got to the end without breaking a serious sweat or ended up thinking MIO was too easy. Most realistically, you will die. A lot. BALANCE IS KEY! Even if MIO is going to have very demanding moments, there will also be more calm ones. W…
