During the Galaxies Gaming Showcase, Saber Interactive and developer Twirlbound unveiled a brand-new trailer for The Knightling, a fantasy action-platformer starring a small squire with a BIG shield and even bigger dreams. The game officially launches August 28, 2025, on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
A Tiny Hero, A Giant Quest
The Knightling follows a humble squire as they pick up the magical shield of the kingdom’s missing champion, Sir Lionstone. With the land of Clesseia under threat and no legendary knight in sight, it’s time to slide, bash, block, and glide your way through danger to become the next big hero.
Today’s trailer showed off the game’s fluid combat, platforming challenges, and how that enchanted shield is more than just for blocking—it’s your key to traversal, defense, and offense all in one.
Game Features:
- Shield-First Gameplay: Block, bash, parry, and plow through enemies using Sir Lionstone’s mighty shield.
- Platforming with Style: Dash, glide, wall-jump, and slide your way through handcrafted environments.
- Explore Clesseia: Journey through diverse regions filled with monsters, bandits, hidden secrets, and towering challenges.
- Big Impact, Small Hero: It’s not about size—it’s about heart (and maybe a little bit of shield magic).
Developed by Twirlbound (of Pine fame) and published by Saber Interactive, The Knightling looks like a storybook brought to life, with action that’s fast, fluid, and full of character.
