General
No knowledge or experience necessary. Quell builds a session tailored to your fitness level and goals every time you play, so you can focus on the immersive gameplay. No planning, no reading, no stress.
Quell will launch in 2023 on PC and macOS.
Fitness
Our user testers burned more calories playing Quell than running, cycling or going to the gym. Quell also gives you a full-body workout, including shoulders, arms, chest, core, back, and legs. You can adjust the resistance bands to focus more on building strength or endurance. Whatever your fitness goals, Quell will give you an incredible, immersive workout.
Quell’s difficulty is fully customised to you, whether you’re a fitness fanatic or just getting started on your journey. We use your biometrics to set gameplay challenges and recommend the perfect resistance. As you get stronger, the game gets harder, keeping the level just right for you.
We consulted physiotherapists and boxers to build safety into every aspect of the design. For example, the resistance bands are anchored below the wrist to avoid common boxing injuries.
As with any vigorous physical activity, we recommend contacting your healthcare provider to discuss any medical issues.
Quell’s combat is built on the foundations of boxing, but incorporates influences from other fighting styles as well as impactful non-combat fitness moves, like thrusting your arms forward to fire an ice blast. We’ll continue to update the game with new moves in response to player feedback.
Gameplay
Social play is a central part of our vision for Quell. We’re developing these experiences now, with plans to build online and local multiplayer for modes spanning competitive and cooperative play. We’ll be releasing more details in the near future.
Quell will support multiple user accounts on the same device, but to play against your friends you’ll obviously need your own device. Check out the Quell Duo Edition for a fantastic deal on two devices.
We plan to develop a vast catalogue of games spanning many genres, worlds and exercise styles. We’ll also support our launch title, Shardfall, with years of new content in response to player feedback.
Quell is a subscription product. The subscription helps us deliver amazing updates including new enemies, worlds, workouts, exercise analysis, and game modes.
Wearable
The Impact belt will come in 4 different sizes: small, medium, large and extra-large.
These will be able to accommodate users with an upper waist circumference from 50cm / 19.7in up to 140cm / 55in.
Our belts are made from flexible, breathable materials to ensure the most comfortable fit.
This means that the above measurements may vary slightly depending on the type of fit you prefer.
However, we have tested these thoroughly with a wide range of body shapes and sizes to ensure variability is minimal.
Additional belts will be available for order soon.
We’ve designed Quell to accommodate a wide range of shapes and sizes, with carefully considered adjustment points to get you the perfect fit.
