The Arcade Crew and Berzerk Studio have revealed a new game called Infernax, a demon-slaying action-adventure that is inspired by 8-bit retro classics, and launching on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in Q1 2022.

Infernax will follow Alcedor, a famed knight who discovers that unholy magic has spread throughout his land while he was away. Alcedor is armed with a skull-splitting mace and a trusty shield and takes part in an epic side-scrolling quest recalling the essence of classically difficult action-adventure games.

Alcedor will gain experience and gold needed for obtaining powerups as he slaughters foes, while increasing stats and earning new skills and weapons to help paint the screen red with blocky splatters of blood. The game will also feature morality-testing decisions the quest that will prompt consequences later in the adventure and influence which of the game’s multiple endings players witnesses.
