Dark Point has officially unveiled Achilles: Survivor, a new single-player roguelite adventure inspired by the increasingly popular Survivors genre, set to launch for Nintendo Switch in the latter half of 2025.

While an exact release date is yet to be announced, the developer has confirmed that players can look forward to a rich mythological journey filled with dynamic gameplay and deep character progression. Achilles: Survivor positions players in the legendary sandals of Achilles and other mythical heroes, including a powerful rooster god and a boulder-throwing cyclops.
