Publisher Saber Interactive and developer Twirlbound have together revealed The Knightling – Deluxe Edition, a bundle for the upcoming game that will include bonus content.
Coming to PC and consoles on August 28th, the deluxe edition will include the base game (obviously), but also in-game cosmetics for the Knightling hero and shield Magnustego. The publisher says: “Defend the people of Clesseia with regal Golden colors and exotic Albamare colors for you and your shield, and light the path of justice with a special lantern ribbon for your character”.
The Deluxe Edition of the game will actually not be too expensive, as it’ll be for $34.99 | £25.99 | €34.99, with the Standard Edition costing $29.99 | £ 21.99 | €29.99.
When the legendary protector Sir Lionstone mysteriously disappears, it’s up to his plucky knight-in-training to take up his magic shield, become the champion the people need, and save the day in The Knightling! Explore a vibrant semi-open world, unlock the extraordinary powers of Sir Lionstone’s mighty shield, master a variety of puzzling platforming challenges, and battle monsters, miscreants and bandits in epic combat.
Lyle got to play The Knightling back in February, and really loved it. He said: “You can find all the necessary bits and bobs needed to power up The Knightling just by exploring the world, but you’ll get even more by helping the people of Clesseia. The quests even in the demo of this platforming delight are impressively varied. I started off by helping a farmer track down the beast that was disturbing the cattle, which involved searching barns for clues and setting a trap for the culprit. Then I found myself in charge of trying to fix the waterways of the city, and that led to some sewer platforming complete with timed platforms and arrow traps. It’s hard to get bored when you’re constantly doing something new, so hopefully this continues when the game releases In full.
The Knightling has quickly snuck onto my personal most anticipated list after playing through the demo, thanks to its sensational locomotion, and varied missions. If you’re a fan of mascot platformers of old then this is one Steam Next Fest demo you won’t want to miss, I just hope we don’t have to wait too much longer to rescue Sir Lionstone in the full game.”
The Knightling is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on August 28th.
