PlatinumGames will release on February 22nd, the studio announced this weekend. The developer had hoped to have the shmup ready by the end of 2021, but made the last-minute decision to delay it to give its development team more time for polish. With a new release date locked in, Platinum says fans will have the chance to pick up Sol Cresta on PC, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 for $40.

The Cresta series has been around since the 1980s. You can play Moon Cresta and Terra Cresta, two of the franchise’s more recent entries, through the collection on PS4. What makes Sol Cresta interesting is that it started life as an . After playing such a cruel joke on fans in 2020, Platinum came back exactly one year later to announce it was actively developing the game.

After having to delay its “must-watch” livestream earlier this month, PlatinumGames has now finally aired its “release date forum” – locking in a release date for its anticipated shmup, Sol Cresta.

Hideki Kamiya has confirmed it will land on the Switch eShop next month on 22nd February for €39.99 / $39.99 / 3,980 yen. In addition to this, the team shared the final artwork for the game, which you can see above.

This news follows on from the game experiencing a last-minute delay towards the end of 2021 – with Kamiya announcing back then a December 9th launch would no longer be possible, as the team needed more development time.

Will you be checking out Sol Cresta when it launches on Switch next month? Tell us below.

Today, during a livestream from Japan, Hideki Kamiya himself announced the release date of PlatinumGames’ shoot ’em up Sol Cresta

The new release date is February 22, 2022. This follows a delay announced back in November.

Sol Cresta is coming for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. If you’re unfamiliar with the game, it’s a retro-style vertical shooter with Gattai (combination) elements.

We also get to see the key art, which you can enjoy below, alongside another painting portraying the cast.

We then get to see gameplay of the third stage of the game alongside a look at the Switch version in vertical mode. You can watch it below.

If you’d like to see more, you can enjoy the previous gameplay videos, and another from events broadcasted a few months ago.

Speaking of PlatinumGames, they recently released a brand new DLC for The Wonderful 101: Remastered and named Atsushi Inaba as the new president of the studio.

The studio is also working on its own on its new IP Project G.G and on Babylon Fall for Square Enix. Of course, we should not forget about Bayonetta 3, which has recently been re-revealed.

No Joke, PlatinumGames Is Releasing Sol Cresta On The Nintendo Switch

Leave a comment

Remember this time last year when PlatinumGames pranked everyone with the announcement of a new arcade shoot ’em up known as Sol Cresta? Well, now – a year later (believe it or not), it’s announced the same game really is happening and will be coming to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC at some point in 2021.

The announcement trailer featured above notes how the game is “now in development” – so stay tuned for more updates, like a release date. As we previously mentioned, this title is based on the ’80s side-scrolling shoot em’ ups Moon Cresta and Terra Cresta, and will apparently be the first entry in Hamster’s “Neo-Classic Arcade” series.

It’s worth pointing out Hamster retweeted the below tweet and filed a logo trademark for Sol Cresta last month.

Back in January, Hideki Kamiya told fans this particular announcement would be “smaller in scale” compared to the previous ones, but expected it to still be exciting. Noticeably, there’s also a new “2021” date on the PlatinumGames’ website. Fingers crossed it’s got something to do with Bayonetta 3.
