NEW 18 Amazing Upcoming Action 2D METROIDVANIA Games 2024 & 2025 | PS5, XSX, PS4, XB1, PC, Switch

I actually loved your list, best one I've seen so far

These look fantastic! Dragon is dead looks the most promising! ❤

I was expecting a beautiful game like AfterImage. I won't hide the fact that in 2024 I really have a hard time with games with retro graphics…
Somber Echoes looks good though, I'm waiting to see the game length, if it's not at least 25 hours I'll pass …

Mariachi 😂, just read it as is, don't change the a for e pronunciation, just like apple

I appreciate the nostalgic charm of 8-bit artstyle games, but I feel like we've reached a point where there are too many of them flooding the scene. It's time for games to be more polished, like Hollow Knight, Nine Sols, etc. instead of giving low quality crappy detail imagery.

1. Ok, we'll follow
2. too much estrogen
3. a bit too hipstery but.. we'll see.
4. Interesting. Digging that PS1 era CGI feel to the visuals . Animations are a bit meh. Still, noted.
5. argh. Wes Anderson adulescent crap.
6. Pass. Looks tame. Also out of all the greek mythologies and mythic warriors they had to chose a female, of course. You can keep your ESG trash.
7. Looks…cool I guess? Not for me.
8. another ESG shit
9. same shit
10. again
11. and again
12. hmm. Looks a bit ..dull? I'll still add it to my wishlist and see how it evolves.
13. Chinese thematic? Not utterly fan o the art. Looks a bit like fan art.
14. a Tad bit of Jojo, a clear influence from Shadows of the Damned (GREAT hidden gem , play it!), a bit messy in term of artistic direction, some bad graphics .. hmm. Not sure about this one.
15. Same ugly shit as hollow knight lol
16. Mexican mystic and mythos, nice pixel art. Great fucking art. Awesome! On my list!
17. Not inspired by this one. Can still be good. We'll see along.
18. Hate the visuals/art style.

It's funny all those western games made at 99% by men (yeeeep, it's the reality) and they go for the literal "strong female protagonist". Nah, not even the attractive ones, like asian game company does. Just girl boss bullshit . For an audience that is 99% male (yeeep, candy crush doesn't count).
I guess they (and the few gamers that like this shit) don't have enough masculinity in themselves to be able to project into a strong male character, in the contrary, they probably resent strong male(s) characters. They resent what they perceive to be infinitely more men than they are…. that is sad. But that's why we call them cucks.

Blasphvania

Emberbane looks amazing

look all the same to me.

Oversaturation like in souls genre.

Somber Echoes and Biowolf added to wishlist.

Why is that character teabagging when idle? People don't breathe like that and I hate seeing it.

Nothin can compare to legendary Hollow knight

Glad to see a hand full of games with nice graphics. I'm really bored of the low res shitty "pixel art" style.

So many games blatanly riping off Blasphemous' art style.

sad hollow clown(

feminist

but Dragon is dead LOOKS GREAT. But we'll see..

Blasphemous and Last Faith are too good to compare with what is presented here.. And too much female protagonists, not playing those.

Whats the thumbnail

Amazing list! I'm really impressed by how many great games are on the way

do they really have to run like naruto?

15:43 come on man is this amazing? Are you serious about that? Come on, please… you literally just throw out EVERY pseudo metroidvania out there, how this visagens is amazing man? Are you joking? This is pure intellectual dishonesty.

omg…all these games look very similar…so whats the point…if u buy one u buy all

>upcoming metroidvania games
>starts the video with a roguelike

Surely silk song will come out next year right 🙂

No matter how many 3d game out there still the 2d games are more challenging ❤❤

what a creatively bankrupt industry this has turned into, literally every game is a rehash of these three games :Symphony of the night, hollow knight and dark souls, mix and match and you get any of these games

Meifumado

Dark Sword: The Light of Ainn, is missing

Dragon is dead looks awesome!! only pc?? awe crap!! I never play on a pc..Switch please!!

11:55 Emberbane not Embermane….

Biomorph and the 9 oane are the only good looking games

Just pretty much 100 percented nine sols. Made me feel like I was playing sekiro again with how you never really skate by on any boss. You either get your ass kicked or beat them without getting hit at all. 10/10

great list!

Dragon is Dead and Eden's guardian look really good, wishlested these. Also, "Embermane" is spelled wrong, its "Emberbane"

new generation of 2d games are so amazing

If something Trizna looks worse than the others… Look at the the stiff animations

Mehhh more prince of persia, blasphemous,the messenger and shovel knight knock offs. Nothing original.

The Penitent One from Blasphemous wouldn't look out of place in some of the games featured here lol

17:53 That game I am so gonna get!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

nothing original.

Lots of these look pretty good, especially the pixel and 2d art style ones. The "2.5" or polygon type games aren't that appealing.

Only nine souls looks interesting enough to play
