Update klaxon: console players can now rejoice as Skul’s conclusive update has finally landed on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles, bringing the game up-to-date with the PC version.
For details on what to expect across both the free update and the paid-for expansion, check out my lovingly crafted original below!
Original Article
Skul: The Hero Slayer is a skull-filled side-scrolling 2D roguelite with quite lovely pixel-art and some impressive visual effects.
Fans of the game will be pleased to know that ol’ Bonehead is getting a chunky update on November 15/16 that will “wrap up Skul’s journey with a bang.”
The Demon King’s Castle Defense is teased in a trailer that is embedded on the Steam page where I uncovered this most interesting tidbit, so head through for that.
The story will wrap up Skul’s narrative as promised, and represents the fulfilment of a promise made to the game’s community some time ago as part of the game’s initial crowdfunding campaign.
Skul DLC release dates and times
The free story DLC is dropping alongside a paid-DLC that adds a bunch of new skulls to the party.
The so-called Mythology Pack introduces five new skulls, and they’re designed for advanced players. Alongside these mythology-inspired skulls there is a whole bunch (20!) of items related to them, to create new synergies.
According to developer Southpaw Games, the new items have also been designed to complement existing skulls, not just the new ones.
We’ve got rather precise times for when players on PC will will be able to play the new content, and that’s November 15 at 18:00 PST / 21:00 EST / 02:00 GMT (November 16).
Console players – those on PS4, Switch, and Xbox more specifically -will have to stay tuned for more news. If I catch wind of any details I’ll update you here.
