Well, Lateralis finally announced that they will be releasing their run-and-gun Metroidvania shooter Dogworld on the Nintendo Switch next week. The crime-fighting title will launch on July 9th, 2021, bringing its intense gameplay and cute puppers to the hybrid console.

Check out the new Switch trailer:

What is Dogworld?

Shoot, jump, and slide your way through a ruined, mysterious, dog-filled world as you fight to save humanity from the clutches of a rogue AI named Daddy. Acquire new weapons, upgrade them to be more powerful, collect secrets, meet bizarre characters, and explore the ruins of a destroyed world.

After a catastrophic event on Earth, humanity is directed underground and into pods for their safety. You are told that the surface world is dangerous and uninhabitable, and inside the pods is the only safe place to be. But when you are launched from the underground in a freak accident, you realize that the surface is just fine and there’s more to this world than you thought. The surface is teeming with life, except… they all seem to be dogs. And some of them talk.

Features:

• Explore a world where all the living creatures seem to be some variety of dog
• Slide to dodge through enemies and projectiles
• Uncover secrets and abilities to help you on your journey
• Traverse difficult platforming and combat challenges
• Collect and upgrade various powerful weapons
• Take on a multitude of powerful bosses
• Pet dogs
• Stark 1bit pixel art
• Full original chiptune score

Dogworld will release on the Switch July 9th and will cost $14.99.
