Get ready for a heartwarming journey filled with family, fantasy, and just the right dash of silliness. Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato, the debut title from StudioBando, officially launches worldwide on October 7 for Steam, Xbox, and Game Pass.
A Pixar-Like Adventure with a Magical Twist
Described by IGN’s Rebekah Valentine as “sweet, earnest, and appropriately silly,” Sopa invites players to step into the shoes of Miho, a young boy whose quest to fetch a potato for his grandma’s soup turns into an extraordinary adventure.
What begins in a quiet kitchen quickly transforms into an odyssey across lush, animated landscapes inspired by the rich cultures and magical realism of South America. Along the way, Miho retraces the steps of an ancient explorer, meets unforgettable characters, and discovers that every new ingredient changes his world in unexpected ways.
The game draws artistic inspiration from Coco, Spirited Away, and The Little Prince, weaving together a story about family, memory, and the legacies we pass on—comforting like a warm bowl of soup and as timeless as a cherished tale.
