SEOUL – Jan. 9, 2020 – “Bookbound Brigade“, the side-scrolling action platformer starring legendary characters from history and literature by developer Digital Tales and publisher Intragames, begins chapter one on Jan. 30, 2020, releasing on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Steam for Windows PC.

Take charge as a noble team of iconic historical and fictional characters, guiding King Arthur, The Wizard of Oz’s Dorothy Gale, Dracula, Queen Victoria, and more.

Harness each characters’ special abilities to topple foes, surmount obstacles, and master an “all for one and one for all” approach, swapping between four formations to avoid enemy attacks, access new areas, and solve puzzles.

Explore five sprawling, hand-drawn worlds evoking classic settings from acclaimed works of fiction. Engage with more than 50 non-playable characters ripped from chronicles and classics, undertaking sidequests to gain upgrades and experience to assist the Bookbound Brigade’s quest.

Search for secrets, lost artifacts, and clues to unravel the fate of the Book of Books on an unforgettable journey set to an orchestral soundtrack imbued with an adventurous spirit.
