Publishers PQube and PixelHeart, along with developer Migami Games, today announced that they’re putting Chronicles of the Wolf on Nintendo Switch. The game is planned for Summer 2025.

Chronicles of the Wolf is a Metroidvania – or action platformer. You’ll play as Mateo Lombardo who’s on a quest to hunt down the legendary Beast of Gévaudan, but there’ll also be a guest appearance from Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.

Thanks to PQube, we have the following information about the project:

In Chronicles of the Wolf, players step into the role of Mateo Lombardo, a young apprentice destined to become the True Knight of the Rose Cross Order. Tasked with hunting the mythical Beast of Gévaudan, Mateo’s journey takes him through sprawling castles and treacherous landscapes filled with deadly enemies, intricate puzzles, and secrets waiting to be uncovered.
Adding to the excitement, the game features a special guest appearance from Bloodless, the iconic character from the critically acclaimed Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night series, voiced by Kira Buckland. Her inclusion adds a bonus bloody fight to the game, which will test the true Knights of the Order and make Chronicles of the Wolf a must-play for all fans of the genre.
With challenging combat, expansive environments, and a deeply immersive narrative, the game offers a rich and rewarding experience. Illustrated cutscenes bring the story to life, while narration by Robert Belgrade, the legendary voice behind Alucard in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, deepens the atmosphere of this epic adventure. Oscar Araujo, composer of the Castlevania Lords of Shadow series, also crafted a beautiful title screen track which helps set the mood for the game’s massive soundtrack composed by Jeffrey Montoya.
