Microvania is releasing on October 23rd 2025
[h3]Attention all MicroKnights![/h3][p]We're in the final stretch - Microvania will be released on October 23rd 2025 (24th for Eastern Hemisphere folks). That's in just two weeks![/p][p]Testing has been going well (a big thank you to all the testers!), bugs are getting squashed, almost everything is getting a polish pass, and many Quality of Life features are being added (you may have seen some of them in the Demo too!).[/p][p]Along with more items and more secret passages, here's a few things to look forward to coming in the full game:[/p]
- [p]A bigger world. The full game has over double the number of rooms than the Demo and is completely new and redone (ie, the Demo and Full game are basically two separate "worlds", not physically connected).[/p]
- [p]More enemies and bosses. As well as more enemies, there are also 4½ bosses in the full game, all of whom are completely new and not featured in the Demo. Each boss (except the final one) is tied to a specific upgrade, and you'll need to use that upgrade in order to defeat the boss.[/p]
- [p]Microcards and Microcells. Microcards will allow you to customise your play style. None are required to complete the game, unless you're going for a 100% run. There are many options to choose from, from traversal upgrades like faster speed and double jumps, to utility functions like guaranteeing health drops or detecting hidden items. They require Microcells to power, so keep an eye out for the battery looking items throughout the game.[/p]
- [p]Full Lexicon. You may have noticed the Lexicon in the Demo, in the full game this is complete and fully accessible right from the start. Just open it via the Pause Menu, or you can wait a minute on the Main Menu for it to automatically appear and cycle through pages.[/p]
- [p]Achievements. There's a bunch of achievements, all varying in difficulty. Some of the achievement names might even give hints on what's possible in the game. Can you unlock them all?[/p]
- [p]Speedrunning. There's one achievement I'd like to highlight, which is the Speedrunner Achievement. This one took a lot of tweaking to feel right, but I think it's at a good spot that should be possible for nearly all players. The key is figuring out which upgrades you want to take into the final battle, and then devising a suitable route for your run.[/p]
