Saber Interactive and Twirlbound’s Knightling brings a breath of adventuring into the wild

Take on the world with a humane shield

Publisher Saber Interactive and developer Twirlbound have announced The Knightling, a 3D action adventure game that might just be wearing its inspirations on its sleeve. Or shield.

The project has more than a passing resemblance to Zelda games like Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, with a mythical world overrun by monsters, towns, magic, and an open world(ish) structure. The heroic Knightling only has a shield to survive with, though, but can use that in a variety of ways. Defense and offense in battles? Yup. Sliding around the world on it? Sure. Using it to float across the sky like a parasol? Yeah baby.

It seems to have the charm that games in this genre are known for, and the unique gameplay may just set it apart on its own.

The Knightling arrives on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch and PC in 2025.
