“We’re really proud of XEL; we set out to create a game that hits all the beats of a classic action-adventure title, like exploring a mysterious world with an eccentric protagonist,” Hagelstein says. “We’ve innovated a lot on the typical formula and can’t wait for players to dive in and start digging into the story of Reid and her journey.”

XEL is launching for Switch in summer 2022, with Xbox and PlayStation versions coming later. Let us know if you’re intrigued by this one with a comment below.
