 The Siege and the Sandfox will release this month

Plaion and developer Cardboard Sword have announced that The Siege and the Sandfox, the developers debut game, will release onto PC this May 21st, giving players a chance to discover an all-new Metroidvania. Check out the newest trailer for the game below.

The Sandfox, known as the Kasha’I, is famed across the land as part of the legendary line of faithful protectors and servants to the crown. In this ‘Stealthvania’ adventure players will explore the majestic palace in the ancient desert city Kariman, under siege by its neighbouring kingdom, and venture into the ruins below to overcome a threat from a sand-borne evil. In The Siege and the Sandfox players will master dynamic parkour abilities and use cunning and stealth to discover the true threat lurking within.

We are excited for our debut title The Siege and the Sandfox to finally get into players’ hands! Developing a meaningful 2D stealth game has been an ambitious undertaking for the team, and we are eager for our fans to play and enjoy it. As a studio we set out on this development journey to create a new indie game IP with a unique 2D stealth element. Art led a lot of our development process, inspiring the narrative and gameplay mechanics. The hand-animated retro-style pixel art, combined with the hand painted normal maps and Unreal lighting and effects, provides an incredibly rich visual for players – really immersing them into the game world of the Sandfox

The game is a PC only release at this time and will be available via Steam, Epic Game Store and GOG.
