Troglobytes Games’ revisitation of the Metroidvania genre added Xbox One to its scheduled release

Thanks to Microsoft’s indie-friendly ID@Xbox program, Troglobytes Games will be able to port its upcoming game “Tenebrae – Twilight of the Gods” on the Xbox One platform.

Tenebrae – Twilight of the Gods is a story-driven, fast-paced 2.5D Action/Adventure Platformer with just the right dose of RPG elements to further spice up the gameplay. Paying homage to the 80’s/90’s classics of old such as Ghost n’ Goblins, Shadow of the Beast and Metroidvania games, Tenebrae is set to add a whole variety of unique twists to the genre, thanks to the technology of procedurally generated content.

“The vision shared by all of us here at Troglobytes Games is to reinvent and redefine the Metroidvania genre, giving players our take on it with all the makings of a modern gaming experience” said programmer and tech artist Luciano Iurino. “We’ve been waiting for the chance to develop on major consoles for a long time, and only recently we could reach our goal thanks to the ID@Xbox program”.

The massive underworld of Tenebrae is procedurally generated from hand-crafted rooms and gradually unravels before the eyes of the player with a plethora of traps, secrets and hidden treasures while blending in larger, open Safe Zones.
