Monster Boy

Today, FDG Entertainment has revealed a confirmed, finalised release date for Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. The game will be available on Nintendo Switch on 6th November.

The news comes as part of today's 2018 Indies Showcase, which also revealed that the game will be available to play at this year's Gamescom at the Nintendo booth. The game is said to borrow all the best bits from the series to deliver a "fresh, modern adventure with fun gameplay, memorable music and gorgeous hand-drawn animations".

If you're unfamiliar with the title, allow this feature list below to get you up to speed. We've also shared the game's section from today's new presentation just below that - there's a good minute and a half of lovely footage to enjoy, including a return of the "Monster Boy, fighting for a future made of love and joy" song that we couldn't get out of our heads from the previous trailer.
