Big Sugar and developer Steel Mantis have officially announced the highly anticipated Valfaris: Mecha Therion, confirming its development for the Nintendo Switch platform.
This new installment marks the return of the Valfaris franchise, which first captivated players with its fast-paced action and heavy metal-inspired aesthetic in 2019. Valfaris: Mecha Therion elevates the series as a side-scrolling shoot ’em up, combining old-school, action-packed combat with a striking low-poly art direction.
Players will once again take up arms as Therion, the resolute protagonist, who now pilots a heavily-armed, mechanized suit.
This advanced battle machine amplifies Therion’s arsenal, equipping him with devastating weaponry as he continues his quest to pursue and confront the villainous Lord Vroll across the galaxy. According to the development team, Valfaris: Mecha Therion promises an intense gameplay experience characterized by smooth, satisfying gunplay and vivid, retro-inspired visuals.

On the game’s reveal, the publishers emphasized their commitment to delivering a shoot ’em up that not only pays homage to classic arcade sensibilities but also leverages the unique features of the Nintendo Switch.
Available exclusively via the Nintendo eShop, Valfaris: Mecha Therion is scheduled for a global release in late 2022, ensuring accessibility to Switch owners around the world.
