Thymesia Bringing Plague-Ridden Combat to Switch Next Week Via Cloud

Team17 and OverBorder Studio have announced today that the punishing action RPG Thymesia will be launching on the Nintendo Switch August 18th, 2022 alongside the previously announced PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S versions. Available on Nintendo Switch via Cloud Streaming, Thymesia follows the mysterious masked Corvus as he attempts to save the once thriving kingdom of Hermes from the bloodthirsty and plague-ridden enemies that litter the streets.

Combining fast paced combat with an intricate plague weapon system, Thymesia allows players to customise several aspects of their build, from chaining longer combos to altering the dodge mechanic, and widening the defect window, players can take on the unforgiving enemies in a way that best suits their playstyle.

About Thymesia

The once thriving Kingdom of Hermes has fallen to an age of calamity.

Seen as the answer to all the kingdom’s ailments, alchemy became a widely used practice across the land, with denizens welcoming it into their homes, using it to enhance and heal as they saw fit. When the price of alchemy became too steep, attempts to halt its use were made, each as woefully unsuccessful as the last, with the catastrophic consequences felt across the realm. Within days, the kingdom fell to chaos, infected monsters prowling the blood-soaked streets, all hope of a cure lost.

Corvus is the kingdom’s final hope, the fate of Hermes resting in his feathered hands. The truth is buried deep in the memories Corvus left scattered throughout the punishing world, and only by collecting these lost memories can the kingdom be saved, but each time he dives back in, trying to piece together the truth, all he finds is more secrets.

Key Features

• Harness the plague: Seize plague weapons from gruesome bosses and formidable enemies, wielding them as deadly weapons. Giving enemies a taste of their own medicine will be the only way to survive the horrors that lurk in the shadows of the once thriving kingdom
• Embrace the Raven: Shift into your raven form during battle, throw feathers like daggers to interrupt your enemies’ attacks, and perform executions with the swiftness of a raptor.
• Fight your way: Upgrade and modify Corvus’ basic movements and plague weapons, build your very own playstyle, and prepare for the challenges that await in your own unique way.
• Unforgiving enemies: Corrupted by the plague, and mutated into monsters, enemies are twisted and incredibly hostile, challenging your ability at every turn.
• Shattered memories: Piece together Corvus’ past as you dive back into his memories, trying to uncover the truth hidden in the past.

Thymesia will release on the Switch next week on August 18th.
