• Obtain new armour and weapons like the Abomination Spear or the Degraded Shield to aid in your quest.

[h3]The Last Hero of Nostalgaia Deluxe Edition[/h3]

The Last Hero of Nostalgaia Deluxe Edition comes to Playstation and Nintendo Switch today alongside The Rise of Evil DLC coming to Xbox and PC. The Deluxe Edition will be available to all new would-be heroes on all platforms and includes the base game with the brand new DLC.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The Last Hero of Nostalgaia originally launched on Xbox and Steam last year and is set in a world that celebrates video game nostalgia. It blends the complex systems and dark aesthetics of its Souls-like inspirations with a reference-packed comedy tale told by a cynical narrator never short of a sharp put down.

The game delivers tough but fair combat, challenging bosses for you to overcome, engaging narrative mechanics rich in lore and a shockingly-rich character creator (kind of).



Drawing on the best of the games that inspired it - while delivering a humorous and innovative twist on the genre with a boatload of nudge and wink references - The Last Hero of Nostalgaia offers players the chance to enjoy tackling the game’s tough battles and laugh at its funny moments with friends thanks to an online co-op mode.

Nostalgaia is fading away to nothing: even the memories of our proud, cherished video games are being lost. Now, with our fidelity all but gone, at the very brink of extinction, hope emerges to fight back.

You are that hope.

Coming to PC, Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo Switch - 20th June 2023!

Get ready, Adventurer...

Alongside The Rise of Evil DLC, The Last Hero of Nostalgaia will also be released on Playstation and Switch for the first time!
