A call to arms has sounded for all fans of classic, pixel art adventures, as a new hero has arrived on Xbox and PC to defend a kingdom from encroaching darkness – the Golden Knight.
Golden Knight, a new mini-metroidvania RPG platformer, has launched today, August 20th, 2025.
This epic journey from developer and publisher Guará Studios is now available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC for £8.39, and comes with full Xbox Play Anywhere support.
A Kingdom in Darkness
Prepare to venture through mysterious forests and treacherous castles, facing hordes of enemies and deadly challenges in an immersive experience where exploration, combat, and progression are the keys to victory.
In Golden Knight, you take on the role of the legendary hero of the same name. As a renowned defender of endangered kingdoms, you were caught off guard by a darkness that has taken over the kingdom of Valerond. Determined to save the kingdom, you must embark on an epic quest to restore peace and defeat the forces of evil.
This is an adventure that will test your skills. You’ll need to master the dynamic combat, using your sword for close-quarters fighting, your dash to dodge or hit enemies at long range, and your jump to avoid both enemies and traps. Your journey will be perilous, with deadly traps like spikes, darts, and scythes scattered along the way, requiring precision and skill to overcome.
Challenging Enemies and Terrifying Bosses
You will face a variety of classic fantasy enemies, including slimes, skeletons, zombies, and bats. At the end of each area, you’ll need to confront terrifying bosses, such as the Demon Bat, a giant evil eye, and the powerful Dark Mage.
As you explore the dark forests and sinister castles, you’ll find treasures and essential resources. By collecting coins and discovering hidden campsites, you can improve your abilities, such as your attack power and total health, becoming stronger and better prepared for the increasingly powerful enemies that stand in your way.
Your Quest, Unbound Across Devices
Golden Knight supports Xbox Play Anywhere, which is a fantastic feature for anyone who games on both their console and a PC. This means your heroic journey is never tied to a single device. A single digital purchase of the game for £8.39 unlocks it for you on both your Xbox console and your Windows PC.
Your adventure, character upgrades, and achievements are all synced to your account in the cloud, so you can seamlessly switch between devices and continue your quest to save Valerond without losing a single step.
