Red Candle Games, the developer behind critically acclaimed horror titles Detention and Devotion, has announced its equally well-received Sekiro-inspired action-platfomer Nine Sols is coming to Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch on 26th November.
Nine Sols, which released on PC back in May following a successful crowdfunding campaign, casts players as the cat-like Yi, as he embarks on a quest of vengeance through a dark fantasy world, melding sci-fi and Eastern mythology. His goal is to eliminate the realm’s formidable rulers – the nine Sols of the title – and unravel the mysteries of an alien race.
In gameplay terms, Nine Sols combines elements of a Metroidvania – insofar as it features a vast interconnected world, albeit one you’ll largely be exploring in a linear fashion – and what Red Candle calls fast, brutal “Sekiro-lite” combat build around slashes and deflections. Oh, and it’s also a lovely looking, gorgeously animated thing too.
