2021's critically acclaimed Metroidvania Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is getting a sequel. If you're a PC player, you may have already dove into ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist's early access period, but the full release has just been announced.
Ender Magnolia launches on all platforms on 22nd January 2025 (or 23rd January in Japan). The sequel improves on the original with refined combat, new skills, and a brand new world to explore. The game was originally announced back in February 2024 during a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase.
Set decades after the first game, you'll be thrust into the Land of Fumes. In Fumes, Homunculi exist as a result of the kingdom's attempts to advance development. The toxic Fumes have caused many of the Homunculi to go mad, and only Lilac — an Attuner — can save them.
If Ender Magnolia even improves on the original slightly, then we'll be in love — we called Ender Lilies "one of the strongest Metroidvanias of 2021, and easily one of the best examples of the genre on Switch to date", and we still feel that way today.

I loved Ender Lilies so I've been looking forward to this.
I didn't love Ender Lilies, so I'm not looking forward to this.
But seriously, Ender Lilies is a very well-made and polished game, and I did play it to completion. But it was just too dark for my taste. A very depressing game.
This feels like a series right up my alley. Metroid + Nier. I need to play the first game though
Nice, seriously doubt I'll be able to even just start Ender Lilies by then considering all the upcoming games on top of the ones I'm already playing, but eventually I'm going to play both these games for sure!
SUPER excited for this!! Day one purchase. If you have not played Ender Lilies yet I highly recommend it!
I got Quietus of the Knights on sale an played a teensy bit, and I can already tell that once I play it in full, I'll love it! It looks absolutely gorgeous and plays like a dream...but man...there's too many games out. My backlog is bursting at the seams, not to mention that there's more games coming out, and a whole new slew of games coming alongside next-gen!!! Even so, this game always stands out to me whenever I see it. Maybe I'll put it towards the top of the priority list. It simply looks to stellar to lose in the shuffle.
This could very well be the Switch's swansong.
Need to work on my Ender Lilies and finish it.
Never finished the first one, it was waaaay too hard, in my opinión. But this one looks much much better in every way! At least the main character doesn't look like a ghost lol.
Ender Lilies was really good, so I'm hyped for the sequel.
I like ender lilies and bought it on ps4, switch and pc, I think I'll get this too
Wish there's universal save so I can play on both 3 devices with the same save file.
I hope it gets a beautiful Collectors Edition like the first game did.
Loved the original.
Looks like they improved the map. The only real complaint I had about the first game.
Loved the first one, I never got the true ending tho lol. Not enough time to grind it to 100%. Looking forward to this!
Ender Lilies is still on my list and there's a sequel coming out already!
