And the award for edgiest video game title in 2023 goes to —
Blade Chimera!
Despite having a name that wouldn’t be out of place in the PSX-era, Blade Chimera looks like a really cool futurepunk Castlevania. In it, you wield your Lumina Blade, a demon transformed into a sword, that can slash enemies and transform into anything from a grappling hook to an escalator to get to those hard to reach places.
Blade Chimera launches on the Switch as a timed exclusive in Spring 2024.
