The highlight of today’s Nindies Showcase has to be the confirmation that The Messenger will be coming to the Switch this Summer. Set to be published by Devolver Digital, and in the works at Montreal’s Sabotage Studio, The Messenger is a side-scroller that mixes 8-bit platforming with 16-bit MetroidVania-style adventuring:
The Messenger allows players to transform the game from an 8-bit platformer into a gloriously rendered 16-bit time-traveling adventure. Players will find upgrades, new abilities, hidden levels and great speed-running opportunities as they journey through a cursed land.
The Messenger will be playable at this year’s PAX East convention (April 5-8) in the Indie Megabooth. A new teaser trailer for the game has also been embedded above.
