Lovecraft gamers will have some joy next month, as Kwalee and developer PowerSnake have announced that Voidwrought, their cosmic horror Metroidvania, will be releasing on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store and the Nintendo Switch on October 24. Additionally, a demo is available now on Steam, with the Nintendo eShop receiving the demo “soon”.
Voidwrought is a fast-paced action-platformer that centres around the coming of the Red Star, which heralds a new age. Emerging from its cocoon, the Simulacrum is driven to collect Ichor, the blood of the gods, from the monstrosities who hoard it. To do so, you must descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below. Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the biomechanical Abandoned Expedition.
Players will face off against 10 formidable bosses as they plunge the depth of the world, as well as over 70 types of enemies. To tip the odds in your favour, you must find and equip from a selection of over 30 Relics and Souls, from spectral weapons to passive buffs, to customize your playstyle.
Some still cling to the original faith. From a tiny cult, you can expand your influence and excavate further into the ruins of the Grey City. As you expand your shrine and followers, new secrets, rewards, and horrors come to light.
