Blade Chimera, the highly anticipated metroidvania game by Team Ladybug, is now set to launch for Switch and PC via Steam in August 2024. This announcement comes as a delay from its initial spring release window, as confirmed by publisher PLAYISM and developer Team Ladybug.

Blade Chimera offers players a unique gaming experience where the demon Lux transforms into the Lumina Sword, your trusty weapon, enabling you to manipulate time and space to navigate a desolate world. In addition to the Lumina Sword, players will have access to various weapons like daggers and guns, allowing for diverse combat strategies.

The game features a skill tree system that rewards players with points upon leveling up, which can be used to unlock new skills to aid in their journey. With stunning pixel art and meticulous attention to detail, Blade Chimera immerses players in a cyberpunk dystopian world filled with rich storytelling and engaging gameplay.

Originally scheduled for a spring 2024 release, Blade Chimera’s launch has been postponed to August to ensure the game meets the highest quality standards. The delay will allow the developers to refine the game further and enhance the overall player experience.

To provide a glimpse into the world of Blade Chimera, a new trailer showcasing boss battles and gameplay elements has been released. Players can look forward to experiencing the game firsthand during the Steam Next Fest in June, where a public demo will be available for play.

Players will assume the role of Shin, a Demon Hunter on a quest to uncover his lost memories while wielding the powerful Lumina sword. As Shin rediscovers forgotten skills, Lux adapts and evolves, granting access to new areas and enhancing Shin’s abilities.

Blade Chimera promises an immersive narrative experience that delves into themes of identity, loss, and self-discovery. With its intricate gameplay mechanics and visually stunning pixel art, the game aims to captivate a wide audience and deliver a memorable gaming experience.
