Twilight Monk out on Nintendo Switch this month, new trailer

Today, Twilight Monk announced its release date. The game is set to hit Nintendo Switch on March 27, 2025.

Twilight Monk, a 2.5D Metroidvania experience, was confirmed for the platform almost a year ago. No release window was initially given.

In case you missed our original report, here’s what to expect from the game:

Set in a hand-drawn world, this 2.5D action RPG blends Metroidvania exploration, RPG elements, and a sprawling overworld map. With dungeon hubs, narrative depth, and level-up mechanics, it offers freedom and classic adventure in a richly crafted fantasy setting.

The land of Speria is shrouded in darkness, with monsters ravaging villages. Survivors gather at Crescent Isle’s monastery, seeking hope from the Moonken Monks. Raziel Tenza, a Twilight Monk descendant, must stop the traitor Nox and restore peace, as internal conflicts threaten even the monks’ unity.
