Age of Darkness: Final Stand developer PlaySide Studios has announced KILL KNIGHT, a stylish isometric action game for PC and consoles.

KILL KNIGHT is launching sometime later in 2024 for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PlayStation 5.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

Once a loyal knight, betrayed, and banished to the Abyss. A desecrated corpse inside reanimated armor. You rise to an eternal death. Branded KILL KNIGHT, you have one purpose – KILL THE LAST ANGEL.

FIVE ELDRITCH LAYERS
KILL, OR BE KILLED

MASTER THE DEMON WITHIN

Dance with death in the Abyss, and unveil intricate layers of gameplay lurking beneath the surface. Exploit enemy weaknesses, enact brutal executions, weave through your arsenal to tactically manage resources, and unleash destructive wrath blasts to turn the tide. Every encounter is testament to your mastery.

BEAUTY IN DECAY

KILL KNIGHT’s polished, minimalist aesthetic, and retro visuals pay homage to the neon-soaked arcades and shooters of the 90’s. Set across five relentless, hand-crafted eldritch arenas, KILL KNIGHT embraces lo-fi brutalism and revels in the dread and dream-like ruins that surround your descent into the Abyss.
