PQube has announced the digital launch of Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark, now available for purchase across PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. For those preferring a physical copy, a retail release is scheduled for 12 June 2025.
The latest instalment in the Gal Guardians series builds upon its gothic 2D action-adventure roots, expanding beyond the previous title’s single castle setting. This time, players can explore the entire Demon Realm in what is described as a more extensive metroidvania-style experience. Two new playable characters, Kirika and Masha, are introduced—each offering a distinct playstyle. Players can switch between the sisters at any time to overcome enemies and challenges. The game also supports both local and online co-op play, allowing two players to control each sister independently.
Limited physical editions will be available for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, featuring art cards and an exclusive piece of artwork. These editions will be available from launch until sold out.
