Steel Mantis & Silver Lining Interactive
This is just the beginning. Development is still in its early stages, but we’ve got a whole lot of blood, steel, and metal-packed action in store. The full moon is rising: we can’t wait to show you more as things come together.
If you want to catch the freshest glimpses of what we’re working on - GIFs, pixel art, behind-the-scenes teases - be sure to follow
Steel Mantis and Silver Lining Interactive are back to deliver a blood-soaked, pixel-art action platformer like never before!
After the massive success of Slain: Back From Hell, Slain 2:The Beast within returns with the same ferocious, fast-paced combat and brutal challenge that fans loved, but this time, it’s set in an all-new, darker fantasy world. The moon is rising, the blood is flowing, and the hunt begins - are you ready to answer its call?
Prince Akran, the last of the cursed Wolf Knights is on a quest to save the world as he knows it. Transform into a savage werewolf under the full moon, and unleash unimaginable speed and power on your enemies.
Embark on three unique, perilous quests - each filled with challenging enemies, deep lore, and epic battles against impossible odds. Sacrifices must be made, and your strength will be tested like never before.
From the very first moments of the game, you’ll feel the grim weight of the world around you. Your path will be treacherous, but the thrill of combat and the lure of Bathoryn’s power will keep you pushing forward.

The Valfaris: Digital Deluxe Edition is priced $35.97 and will be available with a 10% launch discount for a limited time.
And the good news doesn't stop there. No siree. Steel Mantis is currently working on a New Game+ mode for Valfaris called Full Metal Mode, which will be released as a free update at some as-yet-unconfirmed point in the near-ish future.
Full Metal Mode will unlock upon completion of the game, or will be unlocked straight away when installed if a 'Game Clear' file is present. Here's a brief summary of Full Metal Mode:
Quick PSA for anyone interested in playing Valfaris on Switch – the game page is now live, which means you can find Valfaris in the eShop's 'Coming Soon' section and add it to your 'Watch List'.
Once added to your Watch List, you can then conveniently purchase it from there when available, rather than having to search or navigate the eShop for it again. I *think* Nintendo updated the Watch List function earlier this year so it alerts you when a game on your Watch List is released or if it goes on sale. But don't quote me on that – I've had games on my Watch List, but don't ever recall being sent an alert. So... not sure?
Anyway, don't let my lack of Watch List knowledge detract from the exciting news that Valfaris is now viewable in the eShop, and the release is imminent, arriving on 10th October, just like the Steam (and GOG and Humble) version.
And no need to feel left out if you can't Watch List on Switch, you can still Wishlist on Steam by hitting the widget below :)
