It’s taken a while to get to this point, but developer ININ Games finally has a launch date for the incomingWonder Boy: Asha in Monster World. The cutesy retro remake will launch on PS4 and Nintendo Switch on May 28, with a PC port hitting Steam a month later on June 29.
Developed by Studio Artdink,Asha in Monster Worldis a ground-up remake of long-lost Sega Genesis titleWonder Boy IV, and sees our swashbuckling young hero pick her way through a colorful fantasy environment, gathering treasures and fending off beasties on a quest to rescue four imprisoned spirits.
While theWonder Boy IVnarrative remains true to its 1994 origins,Asha in Monster World‘s gameplay has been fully redesigned, featuring colorful 2.5D visuals, a remastered score by original composer Shinichi Sakamoto, and fully-voiced cinematic cutscenes. The remake has been overseen byWonder Boycreator Ryuichi Nishizawa, and hopefully the new title will deliver all of the fun and adventure of the classic series.
Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster Worldlaunches May 28 on PS4 and Switch, and June 29 on PC via Steam. It is important to note that whilethe physical releasealso includes a port of the originalWonder Boy IV, the digital edition of the game omits this bonus.
