Developer Baykal Arts have announced that their upcoming title Ashen Knights: Foreshadow, which was previously announced for PC release via Steam, will also be coming to Switch in the future. The game adopts a top-down perspective and combines gameplay elements of the Souslike and hack’n’slash genres, and features multiple characters to play as. A prologue titled Ashen Knights: One Passage will be released before Foreshadow, giving players the opportunity to try out the characters and experience the world of the main game before release, although no release window was announced for this, or if it would be coming to Switch alongside the main game.
Below is an overview of the game, as well as a trailer:

Normally, when a game franchise fails to meet a publisher’s sales expectations, that tends to be the end of the road for it. Indeed, despite both 1997’s Klonoa: Door to Phantomile and 1999’s Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil garnering a very positive reception from critics at the time of their release, these 2.5D platformers never managed to reach a big enough audience to truly compete with the likes of Mario and Crash Bandicoot. The franchise has been dormant for well over a decade now, with no new games being developed since 2008’s Wii-exclusive remake, which was an attempt to revive Klonoa that never took off. Fortunately, Bandai Namco is giving their plucky cat-like hero yet another chance to shine with Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series, which remasters both classic games for a modern audience. But how well do these decades-old platformers hold up today?
