Red Art Games and Pugware have announced that it will release Skautfold: Moonless Knight for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on April 9. The game initially released for PC via Steam in 2020.
Skautfold: Moonless Knight is a metroidvania action-RPG. It will be available for PlayStation and Xbox for $14.99. It is unknown whether the game will eventually release on Nintendo Switch. The Steam store page describes the game as follows:
Forge your own path in a single, deeply interconnected Metroidvania world. Shortcuts, loops, and a tightly-woven world await as you explore the Imperial Palace; an ominous place with its intimate surroundings and the eldritch secrets that lie below. Uncover the history of the Palace through environmental storytelling, and piece together the dark secrets of the first God Emperor Oda Nobunaga.
Pick your path and your battles; the world features a semi-open design with multiple paths to your objective, as well as tons of secrets to uncover. Take on bosses in any order you please, and find shortcuts and safe-havens in the castle under siege to solidify your foothold and turn the situation in your favour. Return to past areas with your newfound Relics and find treasure, and grow further in power.
Find familiars to aid you in combat, dying soldiers in need of a healing injection, Yth stones, hidden stashes of money, ninja-like pugs hiding in plain sight, and Eldritch horrors posing as things you would love to get your hands on…
Fight for your life using the significantly improved Guard System returning from Usurper; the overhaul of which provides a much deeper and more versatile system than its predecessor. Use your perfectly timed block to reflect enemy attacks, or a well-timed dodge to create an opening that bypasses the enemy’s guard so that you can hit their Health directly!
