Action platformer Moonscars coming to Switch in September

The 2D action platformer Moonscars is on the way to Switch, publisher Humble Games and developer Black Mermaid confirmed today. Its release is slated for September 27, 2022.

Moonscars was announced earlier this year, but this is the first time we’re hearing about plans for the game on Switch. We have lots of additional information in the overview below. 

Under grim moonlight, the fierce clayborne warrior Grey Irma battles, driven by a lonesome purpose: Find the Sculptor, and unravel the mystery of her existence.
