Red Candle Games, the developer behind critically acclaimed horror outings Detention and Devotion, has – following a bit of an animated tease earlier this year – formally announced its latest title, an action-platformer loosely inspired by From Software’s superb Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice that’s currently going by the name of Nine Sols.
Details are extremely limited right now, but Red Candle describes Nine Sols (a working title at present) as a “lore rich hand-drawn 2D platformer with Sekiro-inspired deflection-focused combat”. The developer has also shared a wonderfully evocative bit of promo art that – while a significant aesthetic departure from its previous games – does suggest, with its mangled limbs and pools of blood, that we’re not exactly in family friendly territory here.
