Exile’s End Releases on Wii U
Torrance, Calif. — November 22, in the year of our
Lord 2016 — XSEED Games, the independent-minded console
publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that
the exploration-driven sci-fi platformer developed by Magnetic
Realms, Exile’s End, is now available on Wii U™ in North
America, with the European and Oceania release to follow on
November 24, 2016. Exile’s End is available for digital purchase
on Wii U™ via the Nintendo eShop for USD $9.99.
Exile’s End is a dark and futuristic 2D sidescroller offering
adventure-style puzzles, tightly-controlled platforming, and
dangerous extraterrestrials. The game was developed as an homage
to early ’90s action-adventure PC games, drawing heavy gameplay
inspiration from classics of the genre as well as thematic
influence from ’80s sci-fi films and anime. Boasting uniquely
stylized cutscenes, multiple endings, and an atmospheric
soundtrack by Keiji Yamagishi of Ninja Gaiden and Tecmo Super
Bowl fame, Exile’s End will have players investigate a massive,
interconnected alien world and experience a story filled with
ancient riddles and modern-day hubris.
Set in the distant future, Exile’s End begins with the
megacorporation and interplanetary government Ravenwood – an
all-encompassing entity that manipulates the economy by way of
its own private army. When its president’s son goes missing on a
remote mining planet and all contact is lost, the company
quickly dispatches a team of mercenaries to investigate.
Immediately upon their arrival in orbit, however, the team’s
ship experiences an electrical failure and careens toward the
surface. Numerous soldiers eject from the crashing ship via
escape pods, but only one seems to make landfall relatively
unscathed: an old, embittered private named Jameson. In his
efforts to restore communications on the planet, he ends up
discovering the remains of the mining colony and learns a truth
far more sinister than he ever could have imagined…
Backed by Japanese publisher Marvelous Inc. and originally
released for Windows PC, Mac and Linux via Steam, Exile’s End is
a collaboration between Tokyo-based indie game developer Matt
Fielding and many talented local industry veterans, including
art by staff from titles such as Secret of Mana, Mother 3 and
more. The game is also partial remake of Fielding’s first game,
Inescapable, significantly expanding on the original’s general
ideas and themes.
Developed by Magnetic Realms and published in North America by
XSEED Games, Exile’s End is now available on Wii U™,
PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®Vita for USD $9.99. The European
and Oceania Wii U™ version will launch on November 24, 2016 for
€9.99, £8.99, and $13.00 AUD. This title has been rated “T for
Teen” by the ESRB, PEGI 12, USK 6, and PG by the ACB.
