Press release:
Hong Kong – July 21st, 2021.
The Hong Kong-based independent video game publisher/developer Eastasiasoft Limited and the New Zealand-based indie games developer Rainbite, are today very excited and happy to announce that their 16-bit fairytale top-down shooter “Trigger Witch” is coming to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One on July 28th, 2021 (the Nintendo Switch version will be released on July 29th).

Trigger Witch tells the tale of Colette, a student at the Stock Academy for Witchcraft and Triggery. When her realm is invaded, she is the only one with enough firepower to restore peace to her world.

Venture forth on an adventure through a mystical open world where firearms have replaced the realm’s magic. As you shoot your way across the land, discover new guns and upgrade your firepower as foes become stronger.

You will meet a variety of peculiar and relatable characters who will entertain you with witty dialogue and sometimes ask you for help. Take a break from the pulse-pounding action to solve environmental puzzles in mysterious dungeons and think your way around difficult obstacles. Trigger Witch also supports drop-in local co-op, so a friend can join your session to help fend off the hordes of monsters at any time!

The cute and colourful pixel art mixed with a dose of ultra-violence makes for a unique visual style. The compelling narrative ties together with the dynamic soundtrack to create a gun-toting adventure experience that will truly immerse you in the world of cute creatures and bullets.

A Limited Edition physical release of Trigger Witch that includes a copy of the game’s soundtrack is also available for pre-order now at playasia.com
“Trigger Witch is a unique title that really subverts expectations. Initially, you see this cutesy, colourful world of witches and toadstools, but soon Colette has to break out her arsenal and start raining lead on hordes of evil creatures,” said eastasiasoft. “Warm up your trigger finger and go find your flying broom, because Trigger Witch releases on the 28th and 29th of July”
