F.I.S.T. Forged In Shadow Torch Confirms Switch Release Date for Q3 2022; Physical Release for PS4, PS5, and Switch Planned

Microids announced that they will be co-publishing with Bilibili to release the physical version of the TiGames-developed Metroidvania-action game F.I.S.T. Forged In Shadow Torch, on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch in Q3 2022.

This is the first time that the Switch version has received a release window. Also, a physical release is something that many fans have been waiting for.

F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch takes place when the Machine Legion invaded and colonized Torch City, which was initially inhabited by animals. That was six years ago, and now, Rayton, a former soldier in the resistance war, lives in seclusion. Then, one day, his friend was arrested, and Rayon decided that it was time to put back on his mechanical fist and hop back into the fight. Get it, because he’s a rabbit?

Gameplay in F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch features arcade-style combat with access to three unique weapons, the First, Drill, and Whip. Each weapon allows players to tackle whatever situation they encounter. The combo system will improve throughout the game to include new attacks, but survival is based on learning enemy attacks and patterns.
