Bohemia Interactive has released a brand-new trailer for Cosmo Tales, this time stylized as a homage to the legendary graphic designer and filmmaker Saul Bass. The trailer offers the first glimpse into the background of the main character and confirms the direction the game is taking: storytelling through visuals and an expressive authorial design inspired by the Czech comic and illustration traditions.
“In addition to being a tribute to Czech illustration, we chose this trailer style also as a nod to one of the greatest visual storytellers of all time, Saul Bass,” says Zdeněk Kvasnica, Project Lead of Cosmo Tales. “The whole game draws inspiration from the 1970s. Our goal is for the story to feel like a living comic book that you can actually play.”
Despite the fact that Cosmo Tales is set in a fantastical space, rather than featuring a space marine or a wizard, the main character is a talking car, inspired by the iconic Škoda 1203, heading off on an intergalactic road trip. The development team behind Cosmo Tales brings together experience from both game development and the automotive industry, which means the selection of vehicles is imaginative, quirky, and still mechanically believable.
The gameplay is built around a real-time dimension switching mechanic that alters the world layout, opens new paths, and affects enemy behavior. Each area is built as its own standalone “Cosmo fairy tale”, which means everything is a self-contained adventure with a unique theme, atmosphere, and visual identity. Moreover, alongside combat, players can expect space exploration, educational elements about cosmic phenomena, and a strong replay value. It’s designed to be welcoming for casual players, kids, and families.
Cosmo Tales will be released in Early Access in Q3 2026.
