Developed by Decemberborn Interactive and published by Elden Pixels, Cathedral has been lovingly brought over to Nintendo Switch. On PC the game already has a cult following among metroidvania enthusiasts, with an 87% positive user rating.

On Nintendo Switch Cathedral finds its natural home, having been inspired by classic platform and metroidvania games from the NES and SNES era.

**Eric Lavesson of Decemberborn Interactive**

> We’re just a week away from launch and can’t wait to see what Nintendo players think of this epic and sprawling metroidvania love letter.
>
> We’ve shared some new direct-feed gameplay from the Switch version to give you all a taste of what to expect from the final experience. I hope you all enjoy Cathedral as much as our PC community has!

Cathedral is available for pre-order with a 20% discount, before launching at £12.59 / $14.99 / €13.99 on the eShop when it releases.

### [](#about-cathedral)About Cathedral

Wake up in a world with no recollection of how you got there. A world full of secrets, hidden rooms, dungeons and towns; Cathedral features a vast world, meant for exploring!

Control a nameless protagonist from a different world and team up with the spirit known as Soul and set out to demolish the demi-god known only as Ardur.

**An action adventure game ready to challenge you!**

- Just like the days of the past, this is not a game that will hold your hand. Set out adventuring to dungeons where enemies roam every corner and treacherous bosses guard every treasure.

**A world meant for exploring**

- A massive hand-crafted world filled to the brim with exciting new areas, upgrades, collectibles and many secrets to be found. Use the handy in-game map so you’ll always find your way forward.

**Just like the good old days**

- Cathedral is an homage to games of the past, built using modern technology. With a retro aesthetics color palette, sound capabilities and a chipping’ good soundtrack it’ll take you on a beautiful pixelated journey.
