Drova: Forsaken Kin release date set for October, new trailer

Drova: Forsaken Kin now has a release date, and it’s heading to Switch in a month. Publisher Deck13 Spotlight and developer Just2D announced today that it’ll be ready to go on October 15, 2024.

It’s been a little over two years since we first reported on Drova: Forsaken Kin. No release date window was given when it was originally revealed in June 2022, but now it’s only a few weeks away.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Drova: Forsaken Kin is a pixel art action RPG inspired by the grim dark classics of the genre and the mystical allure of Celtic mythology. Dive into a handcrafted open world where your choices and actions shape the environment. A society has discovered the power of a dead empire: to capture the spirits that govern nature and rule over them instead. However, the anger of the remaining spirits divided them. Where will you stand?

Join one of two factions, each with their own values and in pursuit of their own goals. Your choice will be relevant for the rest of the game and impact the entire story. Everything comes with a price. Meet teachers and learn numerous abilities, but expect foes and betrayals too.

Forge your own path around dangerous landscapes, fulfill tasks, trade, gather and craft equipment. You start with nothing and as a nobody. Study your environment, and use the surrounding clues to reveal mysteries and grow stronger. Only your flow of battle stands between you and certain death.

Explore nature and seal the power of spirits that rule it. Learn how to use them in your favor, but be prepared to battle their channeled anger in the world surrounding you.
