Mark your calendars for May 22, 2025, as Meridiem announces the highly anticipated physical edition of Elsie for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. This vibrant, rogue-like action-platformer, developed by Knight Shift Games and digitally published by Playtonic Friends, promises an exhilarating experience with its procedurally generated levels and dynamic gameplay.
In Elsie, players are transported to the planet Ekis, a world brimming with natural resources and scientific marvels. However, this paradise is plagued by natural disasters. Enter Dr. Grey, a brilliant scientist who created the Guardians, high-tech androids designed to prevent these calamities. Powered by the Arclight Core, the Guardians brought peace to Ekis—until they mysteriously vanished.
As chaos ensues and an army of robots threatens the city of Neotoño, Dr. Grey crafts one final android: Elsie. Unlike any before her, Elsie must embark on a mission to find the Guardians and save the planet.
The physical Magitek Edition of Elsie, designed and manufactured by Meridiem, includes a copy of the game, a special case, a sticker sheet, and a character book. This edition will be available across European specialist stores.
