The Mexican indie team Halberd Studios and the distributor Freedom Games revealed when the ‘metroidvania’ is coming out 9 Years of Shadows and this will be the final release date.
In case you don’t know, in this title we control Europa, a brave warrior who, armed with a halberd, enters the Castle of Talos, a mysterious place from which a curse emerged that plunged the Earth into darkness. This title is described as a ‘musical adventure’ in which the melodies have great relevance. These were created by the famous composers Michiru Yamane (castlevania) and Norihiko Hibino (Metal Gear Solid ).
