Drinkbox Studios (Guacamelee! series, Severed and Nobody Saves the World) announced as part of today’s Nintendo Indie World presentation that their new Action-RPG, Blighted, will be heading to Nintendo Switch 2 later this Fall. The game will launch on PC at the same time.

Blighted is a Metroidvania Action-RPG where players, either alone or in co-op, battle their way through a psychedelic western nightmare to reclaim the memories of their people. Harnessing “Blight” by defeating enemies will change the world around you, modifying combat encounters, unlocking hidden paths, and more. Award-winning composer Jim Guthrie (Sword & Sworcery, BELOW, Nobody Saves the World) is also back as composer on the game, lending his skills to create an eerie feel to this devastated world.
