Gleamlight launches on Switch later this month

Gleamlight’s launch appears to be just a couple of weeks away. According to an eShop listing, the action game is lined up for August 20.

D3 Publisher and Dico originally announced Gleamlight during a December 2019 Indie World Showcase. We knew it would be releasing sometime this year, but this is the first time we’ve had an actual date.

Here’s some information about Gleamlight plus a trailer:

Welcome to Gleamlight – a 2D action game that will take you through an adventure traversing a beautiful, transient world.

Immerse yourself amid the beautiful stained glass artistry as you navigate without the reliance of any standard game UI, while tracing the world’s mysterious unspoken story. What will you, as Gleam, sense and feel through your travels across this beautiful, yet fearsome world of glass?

A World Made of Glass

The world beautifully unfurls before you with lush trees, boulders of all sizes, and various paraphernalia, all in the form and shape of glass. Prepare to explore this fantastical world where light warms the glass and darkness stains it with bitter cold.

A Game Without UI

The game has been designed to immerse players into the world and story without being obstructed by any standard game UI, allowing players to organically enjoy the action and tension of defeating enemies and traversing the world.

An Unspoken Story

The story behind what happened in this world, and what is to come is up to you as the player. Discover and piece together the story through your adventure, and save this beautiful, transient world of glass.
