Foam Sword is a new studio headed by Rex Crowle and Moo Yu - a pair of developers who first teamed up on LittleBigPlanet. Crowle went on to be the creative lead on both Tearaway and Tearaway Unfolded, while Yu has worked on the likes of Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, but now they're working together again on a project called Knights and Bikes, which has just been announced as a PlayStation 4 title.
A sort of role-playing adventure, the first thing that you'll notice about Knights and Bikes is that it looks absolutely stunning. Its art style has a lot in common with Tearaway's papery world, but the detail on offer in the trailer that we've embedded below is really something else. What's more, the title's music sounds stellar.

This looks really good!
Looks like Costume Quest
This looks gorgeous.
Also I don't know whether the trailer mentions Kickstarter or not (can't watch it right now) but here's their Kickstarter campaign page, which has lots of info!

@Sevein Costume Quest 3: Knights and Bikes
That's what I was going to say, but you obviously beat me to it.
looks nice, like if Wes Anderson made Earthbound...
How'd they get the rights to use a Powerglove and NES in a PS4 game?!
This looks pretty good to be fair. I don't know why but, I kept thinking of Castle Crashers whilst watching the video. Castle Crashers was an amazing indie game on the Xbox 360. Not sure if there was a PlayStation version.
All looks very nice but I'm not sold.
Didn't realise this was a kickstarter, I'll be backing just I have with Yooka Laylee and Toejam and Earl. Really enjoyed Tearaway and this looks a lot of fun
The art style is a little bit like The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea. Is this gonna be a PSN only Indie type game?
@WanderingBullet It's an indie game by definition I think one of the Kickstarter backer rewards includes a boxed version of the game but I'd say that there won't be a mass production of a physical copy. Most likely download only.
@Quintumply I see… thanks for the info.
HOLY COW!!! this looks incredible! hype level meter teetering on overload!
