With no set release date yet within its 2025 window, the new trailer for Earthion has injected some renewed hype into the project. The biggest takeaway is that the game — led by legendary video game music producer Yuzo Koshiro — is definitely shaping up well. Its pixel art and animation set a high bar for production values. While the trailer doesn’t reveal much about gameplay, the horizontal shmup is already turning heads among pixel-art enthusiasts. Developed by Ancient, Earthion has a distinct look that strongly evokes Hideo Kojima’s classic Policenauts.
Alongside the trailer, the newly launched Earthion website also reveals that the game is co-published by Bitwave Games and Limited Run Games. The title is set to release on PC, Xbox Series S/X, Switch, and both PlayStation platforms. A cool detail: Earthion will also be released physically as a Mega Drive/Genesis cartridge. We can only presume LRG will take care of the physical Mega Drive/Genesis release, but that seems very likely. Keep an eye on LRG’s retro section for the upcoming pre-order — chances are it’ll sell out quickly.
