Developer Powersnake recently announced their upcoming horror metroidvania game, Voidwrought, during the Future Games Show Spring Showcase. This game is set to launch on the Switch eShop on 24th October and promises to immerse players in a creepy underground world filled with challenging combat and platforming elements.
Voidwrought seems to draw inspiration from the popular game Hollow Knight, with its art style and movement mechanics reminiscent of Team Cherry’s masterpiece. However, this game offers a unique twist with a shrine-building objective that adds a more optimistic tone to the gameplay compared to the dark atmosphere of Hallownest.
In Voidwrought, players will have the opportunity to explore a multidimensional world beneath the surface, uncovering the mysteries of the Court, the Old Waters, and the Abandoned Expedition. With engaging exploration, deep lore, and over 30 relics and souls to discover and equip, this game aims to offer a dynamic experience for fans of the metroidvania genre.
Additionally, players can customize their playstyle with various relics and souls, encounter over 90 enemies and 10 challenging bosses, and expand their shrine to reveal new treasures and secrets. The game’s atmospheric hand-drawn biomes and smooth controls promise an immersive gaming experience for players looking to dive into a new metroidvania adventure.
Voidwrought will be available on the Switch eShop for £16.75 / $19.99 later this month, with a free demo currently accessible for players to try out before the official release. While this game may not fill the void left by the highly anticipated Silksong, it offers a unique and promising experience for fans of the metroidvania genre.
