Limited Run Games and Bitmap Bureau have announced 2D beat ’em up He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction launches on April 28 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Lastly, here’s an overview of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction, via the official Steam page:
Eternia is in peril! The nefarious Skeletor has uncovered the ancient Dragon Pearl of Destruction, a relic of unspeakable power. With the help of Evil-Lyn, he intends to perform a ritual that will plunge all of Eternia into eternal darkness. Only the Most Powerful Man in the Universe and his heroic allies stand in Skeletor’s way.
Developed by the retro-specialists at Bitmap Bureau in collaboration with Mattel, this is the 2D arcade brawler fans have been waiting for since the Saturday mornings of their childhood.
