Release Date For Metroidvania Title AFTERIMAGE Shows An April Launch

A title that met some immediate success on Kickstarter has finally been given an official release date! Modus Games and Aurogon Shanghai have announced the fully hand-drawn Metroidvania game Afterimage will be available in April of 2023.

Years after the cataclysm called “The Razing” nearly brought an end to human civilization, mystic forces suddenly assaulted mankind’s remaining settlements. Seeking to investigate these attacks, an amnesiac girl named Renee bid farewell to her destroyed village and embarked on her journey to discover the truth, inexplicably setting into motion a series of events that will determine the fate of the new world. 

Featuring the non-linear world of Engardin allows players to explore at their own pace. With over 200 pieces of equipment to collect, six different weapon classes to master and talent points to invest in multiple diverse skills, this game will allow players to take control of their own journey. 

Afterimage will bring its hand-drawn aesthetic with deep RPG elements and a Metroidvania-like world to challenge its players on April 25, 2023. The game is set to launch on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
