Adventure Works announced it will be bringing LIFTED to PC via Steam on July 22, 2026. It was revealed during The MIX Summer Showcase. Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 versions will release at a later date.
LIFTED is a game from former Disney Imagineer Jeffrey Ashbrook. It’s a cinematic puzzle-platforming adventure game featuring Ari Buktu.
“I grew up loving movies and games that made the world feel bigger than my living room. LIFTED is the closest I’ve gotten to making one,” said Jeffrey Ashbrook, Founder of Adventure Works. “I wanted it to be a game kids could love on their own, and that parents could hand to them feeling like they were passing along a little of what they grew up on.”
Here is an overview of LIFTED:
One minute, Ari Buktu is begging Professor Lionel Raventhorpe for extra credit. Next, the unlikely pair are on an epic adventure across time and space in pursuit of a legendary tiara, the perfect gift for Miss Barton, Professor Raventhorpe’s great love down the hall.
Strap in for a journey inspired by ’80s blockbusters, with all of the escapades and none of the violence. Platform through awe-inspiring locations from 1818 Egypt to ancient Mayan civilizations. Solve head-scratching puzzles, pull off laugh-inducing hijinks, and evade some of history’s most legendary troublemakers to reach the treasure.
Engross in pure movie magic and childhood wonder throughout an endearing story full of heart, imagination, and silly humor written by Austin Film Festival winner Nick Gambino.
