Starlair out on Nintendo Switch this week, new trailer

We’ve got the release date for Starlair, and it’s coming in just a few days. Shooty Bazooky will have it ready for January 16, 2025.

We previously reported on this Metroidvania creator last summer. After it launches later this week, the team intends to continue adding content and make improvements over the course of the next year, and perhaps longer. There’s previously been talk about bringing it to Nintendo’s next console as well.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Starlair is a never-ending adventure game where you’ll take on an entire galaxy’s worth of planets. Fly your ship through an infinite galaxy finding new challenges along the way. Every planet in the galaxy was created by a player.

When you land on a planet, the game turns into a side-scrolling adventure filled with puzzles, bosses, and power-ups. Each world houses a secret relic which can be used to unravel the mystery surrounding the ever-expanding universe.

You can play or create – or both! Build massive worlds, write music, create bosses, and share them with the world.

Get a look at a trailer promoting the Starlair release date news below.
