LIFTED

The release date for LIFTED is July 22, 2026, launching on PC with full support for controllers and the Steam Deck. Developed by Adventure Works L.L.C., this title blends cinematic 80s adventure tropes with high-energy platforming as you play a student dragged into a professor's chaotic time-travel heist.

While the premise leans into humor and heart, the technical hook is the Anytime Elevator. This mechanic forces players to navigate historical eras, such as pirate-infested Tortuga, while dealing with a machine that frequently misses its mark. You will spend your time solving environmental puzzles and managing fluid movement sequences that shift from methodical exploration to high-speed chases. It avoids the grit of modern action games in favor of a bright, blockbuster tone driven by professional voice acting. This is a clear choice for players who want a narrative-driven platformer with a distinct Saturday-morning cartoon energy. Wishlist this if you miss the specific era of lighthearted, high-stakes adventure movies.
