Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege is landing on PlayStation consoles on April 20, delivering a compact, retro-flavored action platformer for fans of old-school gothic sidescrollers. The game channels the look and feel of early Castlevania entries, pairing pixel-perfect visuals with a campaign built for local cooperative play.

  • Platforms and date: Releases on PS5 and PS4 on 20th April, offering console players a modern avenue to experience NES-era design.
  • Retro inspiration: Designed to evoke the aesthetic and pacing of early Castlevania, the title embraces chiptune-era visuals and tight platforming mechanics.
  • Local co-op: The campaign includes optional couch co-op, letting a friend join the run-through without online matchmaking.
  • Content scope: Players can expect more than 21 distinct levels, suggesting a range of stages and incremental difficulty that recall classic arcade-style progression.
  • Presentation: The developers are leaning into an 8-bit look and soundscape to sell the throwback vibe, making it a clear pick for nostalgia-seeking players ahead of bigger studio releases later in the year.
