Team17 have announced that they are working with developer Super Awesome Hyper Dimensional Mega Team, to bring The Knight Witch to PC and consoles later this year. Part metroidvania, part schump and part card game, this is one unique game, check out the announcement trailer below.

Combining fast-paced shoot ‘em up combat with Metroidvania traversal and exploration alongside a magic deckbuilding system, The Knight Witch takes players to the underground city of Dungeonidas. The once peaceful metropolis has been besieged by a mysterious threat and their unrelenting army of war golems. Here it falls to the protagonist – Rayne – to be named a Knight Witch and use her powers to fight back and save those she loves.

With over 30 unique spell cards to choose from in a magic deck-building system, and Knight abilities to upgrade and improve, players can customise Rayne’s build to fit their playstyle, taking down the invading golems in the most effective way. Like other Knight Witches, Rayne thrives off the love and adoration of Dungeonidas’ citizens, growing ever stronger with their continued support – players can choose to capitalise on this, lying to the adoring denizens for their own means, or they can be honest, sharing the painful truth to the masses.

The game is set to release later this year for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and Switch, but there is exact date yet.
