Limited Run Games has announced the upcoming release of Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights in physical form, with pre-orders set to go live on March 8th — that's tomorrow!
As with most products from Limited Run Games, it's not clear exactly when the game will go into full production, but die-hard fans can look forward to a Collector's Edition for $64.99 which will include a copy of the game (we should hope so!), reversible poster, enamel pin, and the original soundtrack by artist Mili. The standard version of the game will cost $39.99.
The release comes in the wake of the game clearing a respectable 600,000 units sold. It's worth noting that the physical release is being sold on behalf of publisher Binary Haze Interactive, and as such will not form part of the numbered Limited Run Games Collection.
We reviewed Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights and thought it was "one of the strongest Metroidvanias of 2021, and easily one of the best examples of the genre on Switch to date", giving the game a 9/10.
Will you be picking up a physical edition of the game? Are you opting for the standard or collector's edition? Let us know!

Yes! Been waiting for this. I wouldn't mind double-dipping. Ender Lillies was my personal 2021 GoTY
I played through Ender Lilies just recently and it might actually be my favourite Metroidvania ever. Definitely the prettiest looking game I've played on my OLED Switch so far.
With Haven about to ship, I thought I would be done with LRG for a while but here we are, about to order from them again.
Without a doubt, I'm in for a copy.
Gonna reserve one myself.
I liked this one more than Minoria, but not as much as Momodora.
...The level design felt a little haphazard in this game. It wasn't a very cohesive world.
That being said, the gameplay was nice, and some boss fights were genuinely difficult.
I haven’t played this game yet despite being insanely excited about it when it was released. I’m wanting the physical version but I’ll be waiting sooooooooo long. Might just spring for the digital version which is instant and cheaper.
@Yomogi fully agree
@EarthboundBenjy man minoria was a dissapointment
best metroidvania of 2021 (suck it dread) and my 4th favorite MV of all time after Ritual, Symphony and Blasphemous
I'm not into this game, but I know a lot of people were asking for this so I'm glad you guys are getting the opportunity!
NINJA APPROVED
This one went under my radar somehow. In for the CE!
Great game. I hate how they do these physical releases so long after the majority has played the game. I will likely buy a copy. Hopefully I end up replaying it.
Glad I waited on this one. Sounds like it’s getting recommendations across the board!
@SoManyHaveDied Agreed in that I also liked it better than Dread.
Very nice! I’ve had this wishlisted since I read the NL review last year, for just such an eventuality. I love it when patience pays off.
Cool, maybe this will spark a deeper discount on the eShop since I have no use for a pin nor a soundtrack I'm sure I could download somewhere.
So…bought this day one, Metroidvanias are my favorite genre, played it for about 4 hours, lost interest. Started Cathedral instead, sunk 40 hours into Cathedral. Then 40 hours into Pheonotopia, and Ender Lilies went to the backlog. Just found the game world to be unoriginal and tropy. Someone convince me to give it another try - oh and I also sunk 45 hours in Vigil The Longest Night recently which I would consider at least very similar to Ender Lilies, but the Vigil game world ruled!
Aaaaand of course it's LRG. That's a no buy then.
@accc
I decided to spend the extra $$ on the CE, too, mostly for the soundtrack CD. What I've heard of the music sounds lovely, and Ollie spoke highly of it in his review.
That makes 2 purchases from LRG this week: Ender Lilies and Dawn of the Monsters! Of course they probably won't deliver until after BOTW2 arrives, so I will have plenty to play next winter.
I just bought the CE.
Now the waiting game begins
How did I miss this? Would love if someone had a spare.
