Valfaris will be out in stores this November

Merge Games is partnering with Big Sugar and Steel Mantis on the physical version of Valfaris. The game will be sold in stores this November, the company announced today. We assume that the digital launch will also be taking place around that time.

Valfaris is a heavy metal infused 2D action-platformer. The same team behind Slain: Back From Hell is handling development.

For those that need a recap, here’s some information and a trailer for the game:

After mysteriously vanishing from galactic charts, the fortress of Valfaris has suddenly reappeared in the orbit of a dying sun. Once a self-contained paradise, the grandiose citadel now plays host to an ever-growing darkness. Therion, a fearless and proud son of Valfaris, returns to his home to uncover the truth of its doomed fate and to challenge the arcane evil at its very heart.

Brutal combat. Deadly enemies. Stunning pixel art. Savage soundtrack.

Get ready to rip the galaxy a new wormhole.
