Publisher JanduSoft announced that it is partnering with developer Halberd Studios to release 9 Years of Shadows on PlayStation consoles. The Metroidvania — released on PC and Nintendo Switch in 2023 — will launch digitally for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in Q2 2025. A physical edition for PlayStation 5 also be available through partner Tesura Games.
9 Years of Shadows follows Europa, a young warrior in a world gripped by darkness and despair for the last nine years following a curse that emanated from Talos Castle. All of those who have entered to try and remove the curse have failed. Armed with her halberd, Europa enters the castle and encounters Apino, a magical bear able to heal and remove the corruption.
