After an extremely long wait, Leif’s Adventure: Netherworld Hero has a release date. Publisher Mindscape and developer OneManOnMars Art & Games announced today that it arrives on December 19, 2024.

Our original report on Leif’s Adventure: Netherworld Hero was shared way back in 2017. At least at the time, it was planned for the following spring. It’s unclear what happened along the way, but the project ended up taking several more years of development.

Get reacquainted with the game via the following overview:

Leif’s Adventure: Netherworld Hero is a story-driven, cooperative 2D action-adventure that celebrates the power of friendship, drawing inspiration from Nordic folklore. Play solo or team up with a friend, seamlessly switching between Leif and his loyal sidekick, Ghost, each possessing unique abilities. Defend your village of Hammerfall from a mysterious evil invasion as you evade traps, solve intricate puzzles, upgrade your gear, and unlock new abilities. Start your adventure and become the hero the Netherworld never saw coming.

Players can look forward to exploring richly detailed hand-drawn levels, battling enormous secret monsters, and collecting powerful elemental weapons. The game offers a wide array of customization options, allowing players to tailor their combat styles with different weapons and upgradeable skills.
