Also developed by Bithell Games, Identity was a visual novel puzzle game that was released in 2023 on PC, Nintendo Switch. It’s set thirteen years after the Tron: Legacy film, where the player gets to play as Query, a program who investigates an explosion in The Repository where it leads the character to uncover secrets about the world the programs inhabit.

As for the new Tron game in development, In Tron: Catalyst, you get to play as protagonist Exo, who is a highly resilient and resourceful program wielding a power known as the Glitch.
