Pixel art platformer Kaze and the Wild Masks will launch both physically and digitally for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch in addition to its previously announced PC (Steam) version, publisher Soedesco and developer VOX Game Studio announced. An Xbox One demo will be available during the Xbox One Summer Game Fest from July 21 to 27.
“Ever since the early development stages, we’ve always held a console version for the game in mind,” said VOX Game Studio CEO Andrew Schaan in a press release. “Kaze and the Wild Masks embraces all the classic 90s platformer elements and we believe that both the Steam and console versions will truly complement the game in their own way. We can’t wait to bring nostalgic, yet modern-looking gameplay to today’s consoles.”
