During the September 12 Nintendo Direct showcase, developer ProbablyMonsters revealed that it had shadow dropped its fast-paced co-op roguelike, Storm Lancers, exclusively for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. With an eye-catching art style inspired by 1980s cartoons, Storm Lancers is just one of two games revealed to be in development at the studio founded by former Bungie CEO and president, Harold Ryan.
Opening its doors in 2016, ProbablyMonsters is trying out a new, more sustainable way to create games, and these first two projects put the new model to the test. The other game, also sporting an attention-grabbing anime-inspired style is titled Ire: A Prologue and dishes up a psychological horror experience that will be released on Steam and Epic Games Store. Its planned release date is October 28.
ProbablyMonsters’ Debut Title Storm Lancers Shadow Drops Exclusively for Switch and Switch 2
ProbablyMonsters’ debut title, Storm Lancers, was shadow dropped on September 12 during the Nintendo Direct event and retails for only $19.99. Available exclusively on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 consoles, Storm Lancers was designed for couch co-op, offering a combo-focused offworld adventure. In the retro-style roguelike, two players have just crash landed on the alien planet of Cryptica, which just so happens to hide a secret source of magic. Reality is about to collapse, and that means it’s time to set out to save the planet.
