Release the beast as retro-vibing hack n slash platformer SKINWALKER announced
What would you give up to save someone you love
23rd October 2025 – Team17 Digital and SISMO GAMES have revealed Skinwalker as part of the Galaxies Showcase. In Skinwalker, you play a weary scientist who is forced to give us his own humanity in order to save his daughter. By shapeshifting into a monstrous form and wielding its ancient archaic wrath, you will fight anyone who stands in your way and decide if you truly would do anything to save your child.
A mysterious being is held captive within your father's research center. You swear allegiance to this formidable beast in a desperate attempt to save your daughter from a terminal illness. For symbiosis with the creature in exchange for its freedom and the promise of a cure
Key features:
Fast-paced fighting
You will play in two modes - Human and Beast. Activating beast mode, you will gain increased strength and agility, allowing you to skillfully dodge enemy attacks and swiftly navigate hostile environments. But like your human self, you are not invincible.
Rich and emotional storytelling
Experience an emotionally impactful narrative experience, where your decisions affect the plot and the fate of your daughter. The player faces moral dilemmas and intense emotional situations that require reflective and empathetic responses throughout the game
A quest of hope
From a high security laboratory through lush forests and mountains you'll take on missions with clear objectives and encountering multiple characters.
