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.
