Indie studio Retro Forge and publisher Dear Villagers have announced that Souldiers, their upcoming 16-bit action RPG exploratory platformer, will be released this May. Set to come out on PlayStation and Xbox platforms, as well as the Switch and PC on May 19th, Souldiers combines exploration with Souls-like combat and RPG customization.
Alberto Hernández, creative director at Retro Forge, commented on the release date announcement:
“Souldiers merges 90s side-scrolling action/adventure games with more contemporary design principles. We wanted to capture the speed and legibility of the classic 2D metroidvanias with the complex combat system of a more modern affair, letting players tailor their hero to their specific playstyle. We think it’s the perfect marriage of old and new and we can’t wait for everyone to play Souldiers when it comes out May 19th.”
