FIST: Forged in Shadow Torch is a Metroidvania game coming this year

FIST: Forged in Shadow Torch is a 2D Metroidvania-style platformer where animals take on machines that have invaded their world. FIST got a new trailer during Sony’s State of Play PlayStation stream on Thursday, along with a new release date of Sept. 7.

The game stars Rayton, a rabbit who has been hiding for the last six years since the machines took over his city. When his friend is kidnapped, Rayton has to come out of hiding and face the machines. Like most games in this genre, FIST will feature a huge 2D environment for players to explore, complete with a variety of secrets and upgrades to find. The game features an arcade-style combat system that will allow Rayton to take enemies out with a variety of weapons that he can use for powerful combos.

FIST was first announced back in July 2024 as a PlayStation 4 game. A few months later at The Game Awards 2024, it was revealed that the game would come to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 and would be out in Spring 2024. Unfortunately, the game didn’t make it in time for spring, but now seems set for a fall release.

FIST: Forged in Shadow Torch is developed by Bilibili and published by TiGames. The game will be released on Sept. 7 on PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
