Something for metroidvania fans... Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree, an action-RPG video game developed by Hungarian studio Primal Game Studio, awaits you on PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch from April 17, 2025. The game was shown again at the Future Games Show Spring Showcase on March 20, and promises to be a 2.5D side-scroller set in a dark fantasy universe. Pre-orders are now open.
"Humanity has ceded the world to monsters. People hunker down behind brick walls and palisades of ignorance, erected by their rulers. Joy and pleasure have become coveted gems, beyond the reach of the masses. This is not the world you were promised. Travel by night and take it back. Journey through a decaying world, slowly being eaten away by the destructive effects of Entropy. Face unique and fearsome bosses, meet new allies, enemies and every shade in between, and make difficult moral decisions. There are many paths worth taking. Choose yours.
First announced in February 2022, the game takes place in a world where humanity has lost its place to monsters. Survivors live reclusively behind high walls, and the slightest trace of joy has become inaccessible. The player takes on the role of a character seeking to regain control of this devastated world. The game features six playable classes, each with its own skill tree, with over 200 active and nearly 100 passive skills. In addition, 350 pieces of equipment will be available.
The artistic direction favors a dark, twilight atmosphere, supported by an original soundtrack composed by Christos Antoniou, best known for his work with the band SepticFlesh. The studio describes Mandragora as a dark fantasy side-scrolling metroidvania. Two editions are available for pre-order: a standard version with cosmetic bonuses and an additional quest, and a Digital Deluxe version, including a digital artbook and the original orchestral soundtrack. So get ready!
