Fallen Knight Release Date and Gameplay Details Unveiled

Publisher PQube Games, along with developers FairPlay Studios, have recently announced that the upcoming 2.5D side-scrolling action platformer Fallen Knight will be released on the 6th February 2021 for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC with a free playable demo planned for release during the Steam Games Festival in early February.

In addition to the release date the publisher have provided some additional insight into what players can expect from this platforming adventure.

Story:
Fallen Knight is a futuristic knight’s tale that lets gamers play as a descendant of the great Lancelot in King Arthur’s tale. Players will take on the role of Lancelot the 49th in a futuristic setting, facing off against six unique enemy heroes with a dark past of their own. Lancelot must save his city from an evil organization, The Purge, that intends to reveal the ‘truth’ of what is hidden below the city. His journey will not only shine light onto the secrets hidden in the dark but also challenge what it truly means to be a knight.

Combat:
Choose to kill or skilfully parry and disarm the ‘Purge’. Exhibiting the mercy and honour expected of a ‘Knight of the Round Table’ will not only gain you ‘honour points’ to upgrade your abilities, but it also grants an alternative ending to the story.

Upgrade:
Collect and spend your honour points to upgrade Lancelot’s health, abilities, and attacks. Upgrading his ‘Wrath of God’ meter will allow players to heal more often, a crucial component to survival outside the ‘casual difficulty mode’.

Boss Fights:
You had a glimpse of one of our boss battles with the ‘Juggernaut’… This towering foe uses his shield both offensively and defensively to try and halt your progress. Defeating him is a tall order, but failure is not an option for Lancelot! Keep your eyes out for more information on Fallen Knight’s unique bosses in the coming months!

Fallen Knight will be released digitally for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC (via STEAM) on the 6th February 2021.
