Aeterna Lucis Gets Nintendo Switch Release Date, New Trailer

Aeternum Game Studios has given Aeterna Lucis a new release date, December 3, for consoles.

The game was delayed because of the launch of Hollow Knight: Silksong. It is a sequel to Aeterna Noctis, which is already available on Nintendo Switch.

This time you play as the Queen of Light, the eternal nemesis of the King of Darkness. The story picks up after the ending of the first game, when the balance between Light and Darkness is broken.

Aeterna Lucis is a Metroidvania built around fast-paced combat and exploration. You'll move through a large, interconnected world map full of secrets, side quests and enemies to defeat, and the Queen of Light gains new abilities as you go.

The art style continues the stained glass and hand-drawn look of the series, and each area has its own personality. The game also adds more story about the franchise's lore and the curse on the two monarchs, shared through dialogue, item descriptions and the environment.
