Skul: The Hero Slayer Receives Console Release For Xbox One/PlayStation 4/Nintendo Switch This Month

Although it truly felt longer than it really was, it was just last February where Rectify Gaming did a feature for Skul: The Hero Slayer. At PAX East 2020, we wrote about the game to be “an alternative approach which still has the theme [Rogue-lite] as a basis, but redirects how you would expect the story to be told.” But thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the coverage piece feels years ago when it was hardly two years ago.

Since then, developer SouthPAW Games went on to aim for the game’s release in October 2020. However, due to that evident circumstances raised to a global level, the game was delayed. Atop of that, fall 2020 release for consoles was also pushed then. It was in January 2021 that Skul: The Hero Slayer was delivered – at least for PC. Console versions has still yet to arrive.

In a new update this week, publisher NEOWIZ alongside SouthPAW Games unveil a new release date for Skul: The Hero Slayer hitting all consoles later this October. You can watch the new gameplay trailer in the video below:

“The human race attacking the Demon King’s castle is nothing new and has happened countless times before. What makes this time different though, is that the Adventurers decided to join forces with the Imperial Army and the ‘Hero of Caerleon’ to finally succeed in the total destruction of the Demon stronghold. All of the demons in the castle were taken prisoner except for one lone skeleton named ‘Skul’,” the game’s overview reads from the publisher’s website.

“Skul is no ordinary skeleton. In addition to his formidable fighting skills, he can gain new and exciting abilities depending on which skull he’s wearing.Use up to 2 skulls at a time, each of which has its own unique attack range, speed and power. So choose ones that match your playing style and switch them in the heat of battle to bring your enemies to their knees. The power is in your hands!”
