Furthermore, the challenging action-platformer is set to hit the Nintendo Switch eShop on the same day.

The Caos Edition includes a Steelbook version of the game unique to each platform, a premium Collector’s Edition Artbook containing over 224 pages, two stained glass window postcards, three-disc original soundtrack and a Collector’s CD cover that includes an exclusive download code for The King of Darkness Digital Soundtrack together with all the musical sheets of the game, all encased in a Collector’s Edition box with a premium finish.

Several accessibility options have been added so all players can enjoy the game from start to finish, its puzzles, boss fights, and platform sections.

In addition to new powers for the King of Darkness, new assistance mechanics and several improvements in the main character’s skills and gems have been included.

Puzzle solving is now much more accessible thanks to the Time Sapphire, a gem that keeps the character weightless when aiming with the arrows.
