Metroidvania ‘Souldiers’ Gets A Stylish Launch Trailer And Physical Release Details


Souldiers has been on our radar for a while – it’s an extremely promising pixel-based Metroidvania with three playable classes, challenging combat and puzzles to suit the genre. After a brief delay it’s almost here, landing on the Switch eShop on 2nd June.

As you can see above it now has a snazzy launch trailer to get you in the mood. In addition details have been shared about the physical versions of the game, with pre-orders to open for those on 1st June, though those copies won’t be shipping until the second half of the year in September.

There’ll be two versions offered by Pix’n Love.

First Edition:
