Light Up the World in Imp of the Sun, Launching on March 24

Previously announced for PC and Nintendo Switch, the 2D platformer will also launch on PlayStation and Xbox systems

Stunning 2D action-platformer Imp of the Sun is launching Thursday, March 24 on all consoles. From Sunwolf Entertainment and publisher Fireshine Games, the Peruvian-inspired fast paced action game will be available for Nintendo Switch, PS5, the PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One consoles and PC at launch.

In Imp of the Sun players will explore a sprawling, handcrafted 2D world, from the bright peaks of the Andean mountains to the dense Amazonian jungles. Taking on the role of Nin, an imp created from the final spark of the sun, players will set out on an exploration and combat-filled adventure to defeat the Four Keepers in order to restore the sun’s power, ending the Eternal Eclipse before the world is plunged into never-ending darkness.

Imp of the Sun also features a breathtaking and unique musical score. Inspired by local cultures and traditions, its original soundtrack was performed by a live studio orchestra and features samples of local historical instruments dating back thousands of years.

When players enter the Imp of the Sun universe they’ll be tasked with:

• Ending the Eternal Eclipse - Stolen by the Four Keepers centuries ago and hidden in the distant corners of the empire, life cannot go on without the sun’s power. With its dying spark the sun creates Nin, sending him on an adventure to bring back the light and restore balance to the empire.
• Refining An Inner Fire - As a creature of the sun, Nin has the power of the sun at his fingertips. Perfect his skills in streamlined gameplay built for fluid movement and combo-based combat. Discover new abilities to become more powerful in an adventure across the sun’s empire to defeat the Four Keepers.
• Venturing Across a Stunning Peruvian-Inspired World - Discover the four corners of the empire, from the bright peaks of the Andean mountains and dense Amazonian jungles, to dry, blistering deserts and the dark depths of the underworld. Every land and creature was lovingly hand-drawn and crafted with detail, celebrating the civilizations that once roamed and ruled Peru.
• Exploring, Collecting and Learning - Our ancestors recorded their history through artifacts known as ‘quipus.’ Collect quipus to unveil the story behind the Eternal Eclipse, and find unique hidden items based on real relics from the Andean cultures. Explore the sun’s empire and defeat unique, punishing bosses in any order, each with their own complex mechanics and backstory.
