Stingbot Games has finally provided a release date for its action adventure platformer The Forbidden Arts. The game will launch digitally via the eShop on August 7, the developer announced today.

Here’s an overview of The Forbidden Arts, along with a trailer:

Explore a magical world where secrets are hidden around every corner. Lead Phoenix, a young man who discovers the flame within and embarks on an adventure to learn more about himself and his greater purpose in life while fighting off an evil greater than any the world has ever known.

Inspired by both western and eastern cultures, Phoenix’s world, Chora, possesses a diverse set of biomes including snowy fields, dim caverns, giant beehives, treacherous swamps and more. The Forbidden Arts combines suspense and comedy in a remarkable narrative illustrated in a vivid art style and set to the melodic sounds of an acoustic guitar.
