It is listed for Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, and PC. The game will also arrive day one for Xbox Game Pass, and while the game is coming to all major platforms including PC, Nintendo Switch, and PS4/PS5, it has yet to receive a release date. Developer Team Cherry had originally planned to release the metroidvania title during the first half of 2023. However, development has yet to be completed.
