    An official press release from Freedom Games stated more information about the story and gameplay of the upcoming game:

    Break a long-standing curse and revive a monochromatic Metroidvania land in 9 Years of Shadows. Challenge fearsome creatures and the mazes of a massive citadel as the resolute warrior Europa and her newfound cuddly companion Apino. Map the many chambers of Castle Talos to reach and destroy its core – the source of their world’s grayscale affliction.

    Match the might of massive bosses using treasured elemental armors of civilizations long past. Master the special abilities of each and switch between each stunning suit on the fly to overcome beautifully crafted areas and fiercely depicted enemies. 9 Years of Shadows is gorgeous for the eyes and ears with a soundtrack scored in a soothing 432hz by storied composers Michiru Yamane (Castlevania series) and Norihiko Hibino (Metal Gear Solid series).

    Check out the trailer for the game below:

    Benjamin Tarsa, Director of Publishing at Freedom Games, spoke a bit about what it was like porting the game over to a new console. He stated that “taking the leap to a new platform is quite the challenge, and one that the dev teams at TRAGsoft and Halberd studios have taken in stride. We’re thrilled to have helped them along on this journey to bring their enchanting stories to new audiences.”

    9 Years of Shadows will release tomorrow on the Nintendo Switch. The game is available now on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
