Omen of Sorrow is coming to Switch and PS5

Publisher eastasiasoft and developer AOne Games announced horror-fighter Omen of Sorrow is coming to Switch and PS5, alongside its previously announced Steam release.

While Omen of Sorrow is coming to Switch and PS5 alongside its Steam release, all three versions currently have no release date. The new release is an upgraded re-release of the game that originally released for Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store) and PlayStation 4 back in July 2019, with an Xbox One port last fall.


This new “expanded release” comes with an updated story mode and new endings to its arcade mode – the Xbox One version will get this in a free update too. Crossplay multiplayer is coming to all versions of the game via eastasiasoft. Physical versions will be offered for Switch and PS5 over on Play-Asia’s online store beginning February 24th at 7 AM Pacific / 10 AM Eastern.

Here’s a new trailer:

Here’s a rundown on the game:

Monsters of classic horror and mythology clash to take back the night!

In a hidden underworld ruled by creatures of the night, a new terror has awakened! Omen of Sorrow brings monsters of horror, literature and mythology together for a fighting game experience unlike any other. Inspired by numerous arcade classics but offering its own unique innovations and mature aesthetics, Omen of Sorrow positively bleeds style!

Featuring a roster inspired by such icons as Frankenstein’s monster and Egyptian high priest Imhotep, this traditional 4-button fighting game rewards or punishes players based on how aggressive their playstyle is, putting a skill-centric spin on combat while keeping the experience accessible to newcomers. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, Omen of Sorrow’s 2.5D brawling spans a multitude of detailed locations with handcrafted animations and cinematic finishers, all set to a masterful soundtrack by composer Francisco Cerda.

The previously downloadable bloody countess Erzsébet now joins the main roster, alongside a massive blood dragon at her command. With a dozen vicious combatants at your command, who will you lead to victory, and who will fall to your bloodlust?

Features:

  • Select from a varied roster of characters inspired by horror classics.
  • Use cinematic finishers to take down opponents in style!
  • Explore single-player modes against the CPU or challenge friends online.
  • Strategize on the fly and turn the tide of battle through aggressive play!
