Voidwrought Metroidvania Set to Launch on Xbox Series and PS5 in Early 2026

The action metroidvania Voidwrought will soon be available on Xbox Series and PlayStation 5. This announcement was made by publisher Kwalee and developer Powersnake. The digital version of the game is set to release in early 2026, while physical standard and collector’s editions for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch are being prepared by Selecta Play. The collector’s edition includes a CD soundtrack, three character magnets, a patch, and a metal pin.

Voidwrought initially launched on PC and Nintendo Switch on October 24, 2024. The game features fast-paced platforming with an extensive skill system and battles against formidable bosses. Players will need to discover relics and Souls to diversify their combat style, explore the ruined landscapes of the Gray City, and develop their own stronghold with loyal followers.

The developers promise precise controls, thrilling discoveries, and a well-crafted lore that invites exploration. The world of Voidwrought is filled with artifacts and treasures—from spectral weapons to passive upgrades that allow players to customize their playstyle. More than 50 relics and Souls provide new abilities, and expanding the stronghold along with increasing followers yields rewards.

Steam users generally express satisfaction with Voidwrought, with the game receiving 77% positive reviews. Reviewers describe the title as a solid metroidvania featuring nonlinear world exploration and an engaging system of charms and relics. Its visual style and level design are praised for their atmospheric and cohesive quality, while the music complements the game’s dark yet captivating environment. Many players highlight the dynamic gameplay and responsive controls. Despite evident inspiration from Hollow Knight, the project offers unique experiences and doesn’t feel like a clone.

Among the drawbacks noted by gamers are fluctuations in difficulty; some early bosses can seem tougher than the final ones, and certain enemies and quests lack uniqueness. Some artifacts and secondary weapons are perceived as ineffective. Nevertheless, players believe that the positive aspects outweigh the negatives.

You can try Voidwrought on PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch with a Russian text translation. Until October 20, there is a 50% discount on the title at Valve‘s store.
