Metroidvania game ReSetna releasing on Nintendo Switch in January

Today’s Games will publish ReSetna on Nintendo Switch next month, the developer has confirmed. A release is scheduled for January 31, 2025.

ReSetna is a Metroidvania game that’s been in development for close to two years – and there’s apparently been over 90,000 hours of work poured into programming, design, audio and testing. The action adventure title revolves around a combat-ready robot awakened by APEX AI to stop the spread of the rogue Signal, a mysterious digital frequency wreaking havoc on robotic units.

Here’s some additional information about what to expect:

In a world where organic life has long since perished, ReSetna is awakened by APEX AI to confront the growing threat of the mysterious Signal. As the Signal spreads chaos, disrupting the balance of the world and driving robots to madness, ReSetna, a combat-ready robot with advanced technology, must uncover the truth behind this disturbance and eliminate the Signal’s influence. With her loyal drone companion IXA, ReSetna traverses a crumbling world, piecing together the secrets of Project Ascendance while battling fierce enemies and uncovering a dark history.
