Neva. Entitled simply
Neva: Prologue, it tells the story of how Alba and her wolf companion Neva met, while introducing new gameplay mechanics, locales and challenges. </p>
<p>"In
Neva: Prologue, players follow Alba as she chases a trail of white butterflies deep into the corrupted swamps, only to discover a frightened wolf cub, lost and alone," Nomada writes. "To survive, Alba must earn the cub’s trust and guide them both through the blighted wetlands and the dark forces that stalk them."</p>

Neva: Prologue will released as a standalone DLC on February 19. </p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at
