GalaxyTrail originally released Freedom Planet, their homage to Sonic the Hedgehog’s side-scrolling adventures, all the way back in 2014. The game eventually made its way to the Wii U a year later and the PS4 in 2017. And now, XSEED Games has promised it’ll race onto the Switch this Fall:
Freedom Planet is a fast-paced combat-driven platform adventure that pits a spunky dragon girl and her friends against hostile foreign powers and alien attack forces. There’s trouble around every turn, from insects to giant robots to sheer explosive destruction, but players will have a variety of special fighting abilities at their disposal to blast through more than a dozen massive, nonlinear stages. The campaign may be played through as Lilac, Carol, or the unlockable Milla, each of whom has completely unique gameplay mechanics, an altered story mode in which the selected character takes the lead, and even a few of her own unique stages.
GalaxyTrail is also hard at work on Freedom Planet 2, and hopefully we’ll more about the sequel in the coming months. But if you’re heading to next week’s E3 Expo, the Switch version of Freedom Planet will be playable at XSEED’s booth (West Hall, Booth #4700) on the show floor.
