The Messenger comes to PC and Switch at the end of the month

Devolver Digital and developer Sabotage have announced that The Messenger will soon see release on both PC and Nintendo Switch, with the game arriving on August 30.

Since its announcement, The Messenger has garnered attention and awards throughout development and has become one of the most anticipated indie Nintendo Switch releases of the year. Players assume the role of a nameless ninja warrior venturing through a cursed world on a mission to deliver a scroll paramount to his clan’s survival as a demon army besieges his village. 

The adventure starts as a traditional, linear 8-bit ninja saga but soon expands into a thrilling time-traveling adventure intertwined with a 16-bit universe full of more ‘metroidvania’ exploration and secrets. All tied together with katana-sharp gameplay and controls and set against an original chiptune score by renowned composter Rainbowdragoneyes.
