Fireshine Games (Far Far West, Denshattack!) and Weird Beluga (Clid the Snail) has announced that Duskfade, the 3D action-platformer set in a clockpunk world full of magic and adventure, will launch August 13. Today it’s also confirmed that Duskfade will release on Nintendo Switch 2 alongside its previously announced launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Duskfade’s love letter to the golden age of platformers and heartfelt story is suited to strike a chord with fans of all ages. Set your clocks and prepare for perilous platforming action while checking out the brand new demo now on Steam, also available for the first time on PlayStation 5:

After the world has been plunged into an eternal night and his sister trapped in the mysterious Clock Tower at the heart of this mysterious darkness, Duskfade’s leading hero, Zirian, must explore the corrupted lands to uncover the ancient secrets of the Master Clockmakers, in hopes of finding a way to free her from the clutches of Despair. From ethereal forests and underwater realms, to the sunscorched dunes and lands above the clouds, there’s always a new vista begging to be explored.

Joined by his mechanical companion Cuckoo, Zirian will learn to slash, grind, jump and grapple through breathtaking environments that call back to the classic platformers of the past. Each stage provides unique challenges that blend precision platforming and action combat, as well as rewarding exploration that encourages uncovering hidden secrets off the beaten path.

Duskfade’s coming-of-age journey is layered with emotional depth and heart in every detail. Each enemy and challenge Zirian will face represents a deeper emotional hurdle our hero must overcome to complete his high-stakes quest to save his loved ones and the world.
