Salt and Sacrifice confirmed for Switch

Salt and Sacrifice is making the jump to Switch, Ska Studios and Devoured Studios announced today. The game is due out on November 7, 2023.

Salt and Sacrifice is a soulslike platformer. For the Switch launch, it will include “The Traitor’s Tomb” update has players descending into The Heart of Altarstone, a winding dungeon that increases the base game’s map size by 20 percent. It includes new NPCs, five new bosses, and additional armor sets and weapons like the massive Lawbringer whip-sword. Players can also expect a new arena mode, allowing daring Inquisitors to test their mettle in six-player free-for-all PvP matches.

Here’s some information about the actual game:

As Corrupted Mages prowl Altarstone Kingdom and terrorize the realm with horrifying displays of elemental abilities, a collection of conscripted fighters become unlikely champions. Marked Inquisitors, forsaken and condemned souls tasked with hunting Mages as a means of penance, must take up the hunt to both purify the Kingdom and seek redemption.

Select from one of eight character classes, creating a build to suit any and all combat styles. Swing imposing greatswords, roll through enemies before unleashing a flurry of dual-bladed strikes, or sling sorcery while scouring the land for clues leading toward fearsome foes and their wicked magic. Defeat Corrupted Mages and crush their hearts to claim otherworldly flesh and bones to craft into new weapons and armor sets.

Fight through Altarstone Kingdom alone or call upon another Marked Inquisitor for cooperative hunting, with new cross-play support added alongside the upcoming launch. Join myriad factions suited to both PvE and PvP engagements, like the Shroud Alliance, a group dedicated to invading other Inquisitors and assassinating them for ill-gotten gains. Explore an interconnected and detailed world full of deadly enemies and hidden secrets either alone or in multiplayer for a challenging action RPG experience.

Ska Studios founder James Silva said: “Since first launching Salt and Sacrifice in 2022, we’ve been hard at work getting the game ready for Steam and Nintendo Switch and preparing The Traitor’s Tomb update as a thank you to all of the players who’ve journeyed into Altarstone Kingdom. With the upcoming Steam and Nintendo Switch launch, as well as the free update for all players, we hope that even more Marked Inquisitors heed the call of battle on Wednesday, November 7!”
