Publisher Selecta Play and developer Disaster Games have announced Morkull Ragast’s Rage, a new 2D sidescrolling game for PC and consoles.

Morkull Ragast’s Rage is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5. A release is set for sometime in 2024.

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

Morkull Ragast’s Rage is a 2D video game that combines platforming and action with a touch of exploration.

You will control Morkull, the villain of the story, who knows that he is a character in a video game, the existence of a player who controls him (that is, you) and of some developers who have created him (that is, us).

Your objective? Help Morkull escape from the Ragast so he can rule and carry out his evil plans around the world. Yep, that’s right. your typical cliché villain….

• Art and animation – Morkull Ragast ‘s Rage is completely hand-drawn and animated frame by frame. Inspired and influenced by traditional animated films and other two-dimensional video games. This traditional animation endows the entire cast of characters with great naturalness and life within.
• Break out of the fourth wall – What makes the game special is Morkull himself, his personality and character along with that fourth wall break that allows him to talk to players as if he were right there. We have endowed Morkull with great charisma and personality, constantly generating a lighthearted atmosphere, loaded with constant humour, bad jokes and pop culture references.
• Combat system – You’ll have your own hands and all the power that comes with being the God of Death and Darkness, of course… Plus a wide selection of combos and abilities that will allow you to fight your way through the deepest corners of the Ragast.
