Mariachi Legends

Pixel art metroidvania built around its combat, set in Mexico and steeped in its folklore. You play detective Pablo Cruz, who made a deal with Death: she lets him turn into La Sombra to clear the criminals out of his town, and in return he owes her the one man who escaped her, the one who became immortal. Fighting is about reflexes, well timed defence and finishers, with weapons and sub weapons you swap to suit your style. The trailer shown at gamescom brings the date, and with it a delay: it was aiming for 2026 and now lands on 27 April 2027, on PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Switch, and it joins Game Pass on day one. Made by Mexican studio Halberd Studios. Latin American Spanish text included.
