After more than five years in development, solo dev Jack Breen of Studio Hybrid and publisher Akupara Games have announced that Gigasword will officially launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on November 13, 2025. Originally slated as a PC-only release, the team chose to unite all platforms under one date so no player would be left behind.
A Tower, a Sword, and the End of the World
Gigasword follows Ezra, a warrior tasked with climbing the massive tower of Nestrium to confront an ancient evil unleashed by humanity’s greed. At the heart of this epic lies the Gigasword, a weapon as much a burden as it is a blessing. The sword’s colossal size isn’t just for combat; it also serves as the key to solving traversal puzzles, unlocking pathways, and testing your wits alongside your reflexes.
As famine and disease spread across the city of Thoenhart, humanity’s desperate raid on the God Crystal, Gnosis, threatens to unravel reality itself. The question remains: can Ezra reach the top in time to stop the collapse?
A Metroidvania of Brains and Brawn
With its mix of platforming, action, and puzzling, Gigasword emphasizes both clever thinking and combat mastery. Players will:
- Balance the Blade – Use the Gigasword for combat, puzzle-solving, and traversal.
- Uncover Secrets – Explore the labyrinthine tower full of hidden rooms and lore.
- Battle Horrors – Face demons, corrupted bosses, and ruthless fiends.
- Adapt and Survive – Unlock new abilities like Thunder Bolts, Crawling Sparks, and a Grappling Hook.
- Fight for Humanity – Defy destiny and prevent the destruction of the world.
See It in Action
A free demo is also available now on Steam for those who want an early taste of Ezra’s weighty quest.
Gigasword launches worldwide on November 13, 2025.
