Darius will be the latest Arcade Archives game on Switch, Hamster has announced. The title is slated for release on October 6, 2022.

Darius is Taito’s well-known horizontal-scrolling shooter that first released in 1987. In it, you control the starship known as Silver Hawk while going on a mission to take down the Belser empire before they wipe out the planet. The game features a three-screen panoramic display, power-ups, and more.

We’ll also note that the Arcade Archives version on Switch will come with the “Extra Version” of Darius. This features fixes to the overall gameplay for a more balanced difficulty, new optimized FM music, DCSG sound effects, and new modes.

Arcade Archives Darius will cost $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.29 on the Switch eShop.
