INTI CREATES‘ 2D metroidvania Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark is set to launch digitally on March 27, with the physical version following on June 12 (April 24 in Japan).
The release date announcement was accompanied by the release of the game’s opening movie.
Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark‘s physical edition is for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. In general, the game is also coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam.
Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark is the follow-up to 2023’s Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark (titled Grim Guardians: Servants of the Dark in Japanese), with a new pair of sisters — the demons Kirika and Masha — as the playable characters. The scope of the “gothic-inspired 2D action-adventure” title has also been embiggened from the previous game’s castle to “the entirety of the Demon Realm.”
The game’s description reads:
“Servants of the Dark” greatly expands the setting from a single castle to the entirety of the Demon Realm, and further evolves the gameplay into a true metroidvania adventure. It also stars two new characters with different playstyles, Kirika and Masha, who players can switch between in order to fully explore the vast areas and take down enemies and bosses. You must search far and wide for the means to revive Kirika and Masha’s master, the Demon Lord Maxim, and restore him to power. In this upside-down world, you’ll fight alongside demons and against demons, as well as Demon Hunters from the Human Realm. Get ready for an unforgettable adventure!
The Gal Guardians games are a spin-off of the Gal Gun rail shooter series.
