13 Upcoming Indie Metroidvania Games You Probably Didn’t Know About - 2024 and Beyond (Part 25)

[@soulsborneseeker]

Did any games catch your eye?

[@d00mnoodle24]

Possesors ofc, hearth machine hype!

[@lemniscatelogos7917]

Where’s blade chimera ?

[@soulsborneseeker]

@@lemniscatelogos7917 In a previous video! Can't wait for it!

[@rendydevilzz]

Wolfhound caught me off guard, now looking forward to it.

[@ahmedbenkhalfallah6502]

Im very happy to see Shieldbound making it to the list. Its being made by one of my good friends and his friends and i cant wait for the full release.

[@soulsborneseeker]

@@ahmedbenkhalfallah6502 That makes two of us!

[@crowravencorvenrow]

The art style isn't doing much for me, but I love the creativity being shown with the abilities, not to mention revolving around a shield. I'll definitely be giving it a look.

[@endrgar]

In your videos you can always find some new project from the games presented, even if most of them are known. Thank you for always being able to find something new.

[@soulsborneseeker]

Glad you get some value out of these videos!

[@luna_kits2345]

@@soulsborneseeker kudos for your effort on this video also, I'm interested what happened to Last Vanguard been eyeing on this one for a long time but still no news as far as I know but it's awesome if you have updates on this.

[@soulsborneseeker]

@@luna_kits2345 Oh, indeed there's news! About three weeks ago the developer posted a new trailer for the game, and said the game is coming soon! So, hopefully, it will release sometime within 2024!

[@ΗΗΗΗΗΗ0000]

Loving your detailed description of each game!

[@soulsborneseeker]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@tiagocosmos]

Always love it when you upload, i find new games to wishlist and keep an eye on every time.

[@soulsborneseeker]

Glad you enjoy these videos! I hope this one doesn't disappoint!

[@dns5280]

Wow, lots of great looking games here, but MIO hit me hard, love the concept and the art style! It's nice to be around in a moment of sci-fi history when a game like this and a show like Scavengers Reign is happening at the same time.

[@soulsborneseeker]

I'm not familiar with Scavengers Reign, I'll check it out! Indeed, MIO looks incredible, the art-style and kind of soothing atmosphere really got to me!

[@dns5280]

@@soulsborneseeker It's a wonderful science fiction show that is focused on the biome of an alien planet where a shipwrecked crew has to adapt in order to survive. The art style is mindblowing. It was inspired by the work of Moebius, a legendary French cartoonist. I'm sure many of us who likes to explore crazy looking worlds would love Scavengers Reign. I highly recommend it.

[@soulsborneseeker]

@@dns5280 Oh, I'm familiar with the work of Moebius! I'll definitely check out the show, I love a good science fiction story!

[@dns5280]

@@soulsborneseeker Hope you'll enjoy then :)

[@SelmanIGhaoui]

Thank you so much for mentioning ShieldBound! We're working hard on the game and it's getting better and better with time! Can't wait to show you more!

[@soulsborneseeker]

Always a pleasure to bring more coverage to great-looking games!

[@itsNAGOLS]

Pipsqueaks demo was soo good !!!

[@soulsborneseeker]

It also got successfully funded in its - still ongoing - Kickstarter campaign! Many people seem to have taken a liking to it!

[@ellegumabat7208]

check Agnostiko Origins just don't expect a symphony of the night masterpiece, but the game is faithful in 16bit era, mechanics and limitation

[@soulsborneseeker]

I just had a look at it, it actually seems very interesting! I'll give it a shot!

[@TaschNZ]

Another great video in your “Upcoming Indie Metroidvania Games You Probably Didn’t Know About” series where you indeed make me excited about games I didn’t know about, thank you! MIO: Memories In Orbit looks fantastic. Pipsqueak is another one I am looking forward to, shame it takes a long time for it’s planned release date, 2026. Meifumado was already on my radar but unfortunately the reception is not very favourable with “clunky controls” mentioned a lot. I will wait for some updates. Elderseed has a demo.

[@soulsborneseeker]

@@TaschNZ Indeed, Meifumado was a truly tragic story for the developers, they were very unfortunate with their funding and it had a very negative impact on the final product, which came out as a shadow of what it could have been :(

[@JimMcNutty]

Meifumado looks sick

[@soulsborneseeker]

@@JimMcNutty It really does! And it's very close to release!

[@d00mnoodle24]

POSSESORS IS BY HEARTH MACHINE THATS SOOOOO HYYPPEEEEEE AAAAAAGGGHHH!!!!! They're one of my favorite developers and their game solar ash saved my life in some ways... It's a day one purchase for me

[@soulsborneseeker]

Oh, I remember you mentioning Solar Ash, it's how I found out about that game! Indeed, Possessor(s) looks amazing, from the art to the ambience, it's incredible! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@d00mnoodle24]

@@soulsborneseeker heart machine is literally one of the best studios of all time, you should look up the creative genious behind it alx preston. He suffers from a rare heart condition that could kill him at any moment. It infuses their games with deep introspective philosophies about life and meaning

[@soulsborneseeker]

@@d00mnoodle24 Wow, I had no idea about that. Really puts many things into perspective. Damn, that's inspiring!

[@Harlod814]

Possessors looks pretty damn cool. Gonna keep that on my radar.

[@soulsborneseeker]

It does look incredible, especially its art-style and color palette!

[@Harlod814]

Also wolfhound. Holy hell I want that one.

[@soulsborneseeker]

@@Harlod814 It gives me some strong Metal Slug vibes :D

[@Harlod814]

@@soulsborneseeker exactly why I want it! 😁

[@csidesummit]

There are some REALLY interesting entries on this list. Personally very curious about Wolfhound as it looks like someone took Contra down the metroidvania route. That setting and those mechanics are not something the genre is generally known for. So yeah. I hope they make it work.

[@soulsborneseeker]

Indeed, Contra and Metal Slug were the two games I immediately thought of when I saw it! It's a very original concept for an MV, let's see how it goes!

[@septimus4762]

using their hair like spider legs for movement - that’s a trait almost exclusive to villains. interesting

[@soulsborneseeker]

Are you referring to MIO?

[@becausealiens2996]

Stoked on possessors

[@soulsborneseeker]

Same here! The ambience of the game is sublime!

[@PrimoKadro80s]

Game Wolfhound, i love it a lot.

[@soulsborneseeker]

It's looking awesome, kind of a like a Contra/Metal Slug hybrid set in the metroidvania genre!

[@TrentKaniuga]

Also check out Twilight Monk!

[@soulsborneseeker]

Oh, I've already featured that in a past video, it looks sublime, the art-style is phenomenal!

[@soulsborneseeker]

@@TrentKaniuga Dear lord, I just realised you're the creator of Twilight Monk! Can't wait to play your game, it looks incredible!

[@Dilarapixel]

I AM SO EXCITED FOR SHIELDBOUND!!!!!!!!!

[@soulsborneseeker]

It does look incredibly fun!

[@johanandersson8646]

Please keep doing the lords good work

[@soulsborneseeker]

Will do!

[@divineglitch9550]

possessors song of awakening yars rising all look great

[@soulsborneseeker]

Great choices!

[@soulsborneseeker]

@@CozyCoffeeLofi Same to you!

[@dawski85]

Wolfhound looks cool!

[@soulsborneseeker]

Indeed! It looks like a mix of Contra and Metal Slug, but in the metroidvania genre!

[@dawski85]

@@soulsborneseeker Your're absolutely right! It's like Metal Slug metroidvania with Metal Gear influences too! This mix feels interesting and fresh!

[@Brightwonder]

#4 looks cool

[@soulsborneseeker]

Indeed, MIO looks beautiful! Looking forward to playing it!

[@wahidovich2021]

Abyss X Zero doesn't look metroidvania to me, but it has Megaman Legends vibes.

[@soulsborneseeker]

Oh, 100% Megaman Legends vibes! The developers are describing it as a 3D metroidvania on their Steam page, so I'm guessing they're bringing that vibe into the MV genre!

[@azuarc]

I do not, in fact, know any of these games. Ceplion looks great, as well as a few others.

[@soulsborneseeker]

Glad you liked some of them!

[@lemniscatelogos7917]

You and me both! Let's hope we get some good news in the near future!

[@Mykahaia]

Unsighted and the first one are not metroidvanias

[@soulsborneseeker]

ABYSS X ZERO is definitely advertised as a 3D metroidvania by the developers, as stated on their Steam page. As for Unsighted, the overall consensus is that it is a metroidvania/soulslike/zelda-like, though I haven't played it yet!

[@killustrator]

Most of these look awful

@@killustrator Well, tastes differ from person to person! Hopefully you found a couple of games that caught your interest! I have a ton of these videos on my channel, so feel free to check them out, you might find some hidden gems in there!
