“Candle Knight” announces new trailer, release date and prestigious festival win!

 

It was just announced that Mexican 2.5D action-adventure Candle Knight will officially release on January 20, 2023 – and to celebrate that a brand new trailer has also been released alongside a playable demo on Steam.

Wield your flame to overcome menacing creatures lurking in the shadows of a ruined castle, use the dynamic difficulty system to your advantage, traverse challenging platforming sections and solve cryptic puzzles inside surreal paintings in this 2.5D action adventure platformer.

In addition to all this, Candle Knight also recently won a qualifier spot at the prestigious Nordic Game Discovery Contest (NGDC) as the competition moves to its sixth season. The win was announced recently during the BIG Festival in Brazil and the sixth season of NGDC Grand Finals will be held in November.

“When I heard that Candle Knight won the Contest, I was blown away. I couldn’t stop thinking about all the effort our team had put into the project and the road it had traveled. This moment marks a huge milestone for our game and supports all the love and hard work that we hope all the players can feel.” says André Torres, Special Effects director at Dracma Studios.
