Side-scrolling action platformer Fallen Knight heading to Switch

Publisher PQube, in partnership with developer FairPlay Studios, today announced Fallen Knight for Switch. The side-scrolling action platformer is planned for a 2021 launch on the console.

We have the following overview and trailer for Fallen Knight:

A Futuristic Knight’s Tale

Fallen Knight is a futuristic knight’s tale that lets players play as a descendant of the great Lancelot in King Arthur’s tale. Players will take on the role of Lancelot the 49th in a futuristic setting, facing off against 6 unique enemy heroes with a dark past of their own. Expect a Dark Souls-esque challenging experience coupled with a fast-paced sword action gameplay that will punish players for every little mistake, and reward generously with every victory.

Nostalgia fuelled platforming

Enjoy nostalgia fuelled gameplay that players have come to know and love, but with a unique parry and disarm system. As a ‘Knight of the Round Table’ killing should be a last resort. Disarm your enemies and parry their attacks as you clear level after level.

Intense boss battles

Take on colossal bosses who stand in your way from protecting the information you’re sworn to guard. Each boss holds their own challenge, their own puzzle to overcome. Are you up to the challenge and live up to your reputation as a’ Knight of the Round Table’?

Multiple endings

Fallen Knight allows players to also choose the way they play the game. There are multiple endings, which are determined by the actions each player takes. Players may choose to kill their enemies or skilfully parry & disarm their enemies, exhibiting the mercy and honour of a Knight of the Round Table. How you play leads you to discover different endings of the game and story.

Alongside today’s announcement, PQube opened an official website for Fallen Knight, which can be accessed here.
