During PAX West 2026, The Outerhaven spoke with Jordan Horton of WakeUp Super Studios about its newest game, Rays of HOPE.
Rays of HOPE is a 2.5D side-scrolling adventure based on the imagination of a child. The game combines elements of fighting games with traditional side-scrolling gameplay while using simplified controller inputs to make the experience more approachable. By blending childhood imagination with familiar mechanics, Rays of Hope offers a different take on the side-scrolling genre.
