Publisher Knights Peak and developer Primal Game Studio have announced a release date for Mandragora, their 2D soulslike metroidvania game.

Mandragora is launching on April 17th, 2025 across Windows PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. Niche Gamer can confirm a Switch version is planned as well.

Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus a new trailer:

In Mandragora, mankind has surrendered the world to monsters. The people of Faelduum hide behind walls of brick and palisades of ignorance, constructed by their leaders.

Players will journey through a world in decline, slowly succumbing to the damaging effects of Entropy. They will fight vicious creatures, challenge nightmarish bosses, meet new allies and enemies, and make harsh moral choices. The game offers many paths worth taking, each with its own unique challenges and rewards.

Features:

• Six Character classes with unique talent trees, passive skills and 200+ active skill upgrades
• Face off against fearsome foes including 15 brutal Bosses and 19 challenging Mini Bosses
• Narrative crafted by Brian Mitsoda including alternate endings forged by the player
• Soundtrack composed by Christos Antoniou (Septicflesh) and performed by the FILMharmonic Orchestra of Prague.
