Why Planet of Lana deserves your attention
Planet of Lana is a cinematic puzzle-platformer that’s easy to love. You play as Lana, a brave girl on a mission to save her village from mysterious mechanical aliens. She’s not alone — her trusty companion Mui, a cat-like creature, helps her solve clever puzzles and sneak past danger. The gameplay is approachable, with just the right amount of challenge to keep things interesting. The art style is simply stunning, mixing soft, welcoming colors with a story that’s surprisingly dark at times. And the soundtrack? It’s both relaxing and epic, making every moment memorable.
What’s new in Children of the Leaf?
The sequel, Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf, looks like it’s raising the bar. The first trailer teases a much bigger world, with Lana and Mui facing new threats and exploring a range of environments — from lush forests to underwater levels. This time, the stakes seem even higher. The trailer ends on a dramatic note, showing Mui lying in what looks like a hospital bed, while Lana looks on, clearly worried. It’s safe to say we can expect an emotional journey.
Expanding the adventure
From what we’ve seen, Lana will travel across fantastic landscapes, including hopping between alien ships and riding atop robotic creatures. The world of Planet of Lana is getting bigger and more ambitious, opening up all sorts of possibilities for storytelling and gameplay. If you loved the first game’s mix of adventure, stealth, and heart, the sequel is shaping up to deliver even more.
Where to play and what’s next
Planet of Lana is already out on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC. If you haven’t played it, now’s a great time to jump in before the sequel arrives in 2026. Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf promises to expand the lore and bring back everything fans loved about the original, with even more surprises along the way.
