The critically acclaimed Chinese action RPG Noctuary is now officially available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, publisher Serenity Forge and developer Gratesca Studio announced this week. Originally a PC-exclusive gem in China, Noctuary makes its console debut with a major localization overhaul and a free PC update packed with fresh content.
Set in the richly imagined world of Inlixaland, Noctuary blends fast-paced real-time combat with deep storytelling inspired by Chinese mythology and folklore. Players step into the shoes of two aspiring Arborangers — Fancia Dream and Alina Nightsong — as they train to become guardians of the realm and fight back against a dark, monstrous force known as the Darkritters.
A Modern Fairy Tale with Real-Time Action
At its core, Noctuary is a narrative-driven action RPG with a twist: players can seamlessly swap between characters mid-battle, experiment with skill loadouts, and adapt their strategy depending on the enemies they face. The game’s dual protagonists, Fancia and Alina, bring distinct combat styles to the table — allowing players to master a range of magical and melee-based abilities in their quest to protect Inlixaland.
Whether you prefer going head-to-head with towering bosses or diving deep into the rich lore and character-driven drama, Noctuary gives players the tools to customize their journey. You can now skip straight to action or storytelling segments with the game’s newly introduced accessibility settings.
Fully Voiced Cast and Revamped English Translation
The new console release isn’t just a port — it’s a full revamp. Players can now enjoy Noctuary with a reworked English localization, making the emotionally driven narrative more accessible to global audiences. In addition, the entire voice cast has been expanded, featuring performances in Mandarin, Cantonese, and Japanese.
These updates also apply to PC players via a free content update on Steam, which introduces new quests, characters, and gameplay features.

Noctuary’s world of Inlixaland offers more than just beautifully rendered environments — it’s filled with magical beasts, ancient secrets, and complex moral dilemmas. As you navigate its winding forests, ruined temples, and hidden villages, your choices will shape the path of Fancia and Alina’s destiny.
