This Awesome Asian-Fantasy Sekiro-Like Metroidvania Is Finally Coming To Consoles

Red Candle Games has confirmed that its Sekiro-inspired metroidvania, Nine Sols, will be launching on PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox on November 26. The studio released a brand-new trailer, and the game is confirmed to be coming to Game Pass on release day too.

Nine Sols follows Yi, a hero who aims to overthrow the nine Sols, tyrannical rulers in the realm of New Kunlun. The developers have called the aesthetics of Nine Sols as “Taopunk,” which combines futuristic cyberpunk elements with eastern fantasy and mythology. While the game features challenging parrying mechanics, there are options to modify damage dealt and damage received, making it much more approachable and less frustrating than the game it’s inspired by.
