On April 23, fans of the classic game Glover are in for a treat as QUByte Interactive and Bleem roll out a fresh update. This patch aims to spruce up the game with enhanced visuals, iron out pesky bugs, and incorporate community-driven improvements across all gaming platforms to thrill nostalgic gamers.
For those who fondly remember Glover from the 90s, a time when 3D platformers dominated the gaming scene, this news is particularly exciting. The game invites players to become the quirky glove that maneuvers through tricky platforms, juggling tasks like dribbling and rolling a ball. Its timeless charm has made it a candidate for revivals on modern consoles, with a Steam release in 2022 followed by launches on Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and the Xbox Series X/S.
QUByte Interactive and Bleem are committed to breathing new life into Glover with this latest update. Set for April 23, the patch will polish both the console and PC versions. Notably, changes include fixing achievement descriptions and unlocking conditions, as well as visual tweaks to textures, effects, color balance, and lighting, all crafted to refine the game’s appearance.
The update doesn’t stop at visuals. The developers are also tweaking gameplay elements such as the bonus stage in Prehistoric World for smoother navigation. Various bugs, like those in the Fortress of Fear, Atlantis, and the Carnival Boss that hinder progression, are also being fixed. While QUByte Interactive takes charge of the console updates, the PC updates via Steam will be managed by Piko Interactive, and Xsolla will handle other platforms.
Interestingly, ahead of the update, there’s a limited-time offer for gamers to snag Glover at a 10% discount across all consoles. However, as of now, the discounted price hasn’t yet reflected in the Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo stores—something potential buyers should keep an eye on.
With this upcoming patch, developers hope to revitalize Glover for players everywhere. As a beloved piece of platforming nostalgia, it’s great to see it getting such dedicated attention. The team at QUByte Interactive acknowledges community feedback, suggesting potential future patches to continue refining the game.
