Melbourne, Australia – April 10, 2024 – PlaySide Studios has announced KILL KNIGHT, the upcoming ultra-responsive, arcade-inspired isometric action shooter. KILL KNIGHT will be the premiere console project from the award-winning developers behind Age of Darkness: Final Stand.
Revealed during the Triple-i Initiative and set to launch later this year, KILL KNIGHT challenges players to master the demon within as they descend through the voids of an eldritch arena and harness a devastating arsenal of armor and weapons against swarms of otherworldly horrors.
Once a loyal knight, betrayed, and banished to the Abyss. A desecrated corpse inside reanimated armor. You rise to an eternal death. Branded KILL KNIGHT, you have one purpose - KILL THE LAST ANGEL.
Players must learn to exploit enemy weaknesses, enact brutal executions, and weave through the Knight’s Arsenal to tactically manage resources - as they dance with death in the Abyss and take the fight to global leaderboards against friends and foes alike.
FEATURES
- Fast and visceral top-down, push-forward combat that rewards aggression and precision
- An immersive otherworld dripping in corrosive atmosphere with a retro-inspired aesthetic
- Descend through five fatal layers, each more deadly than the last
- Choose your challenge, with three distinct difficulty settings to overcome
- Survive long enough to raise your Kill Power, increasing speed and damage
- Complete challenges to unlock your Knight’s Arsenal, and evolve your playstyle
- Dive into Master Mode, combining all five layers into one extended arena challenge
- Ascend the global leaderboards and compete with friends for high-score supremacy
