Character Reveal: Gjorna, The Trusty Ally.

Hello, Explorers!

Today, we have a very special reveal. Meet Gjorna, your mentor and ally in the unforgiving world of Lysward. And in case you’re wondering, the pronunciation of her name is “Yor-na”.

Gjorna is no ordinary guide. She's a resourceful Hogbunny fugitive, desperately searching for her missing partner, Orren, after escaping the cruel experiments of Notus Haven. When your paths cross in the desert, you'll work together to uncover the terrible truth behind Notus' exploitation of the land... and what they did to both of you.

Now, if you’ve played Hogworld, EARTHLOCK, Ikonei Island, or read our comics, you might have noticed that Gjorna is a Hogbunny, but her visuals are very different from the others. This happened because we felt Lysward demanded a fresh take on Hogbunnies so they could fit in this environment.

To achieve her final visual, we’ve tested and experimented a lot. We needed more expressive animations, which led to proportion changes, while the art style evolved to match the game's mature themes. After countless iterations, we arrived at her final design: a perfect balance of grit and personality that fits Lysward's harsh environment.

Gjorna will be your most valuable company in the desert. Every clue she shares reveals more about your shared, painful past and the dark secrets of Notus Haven.
