Indie developer and publisher BlitWorks revealed their roguelite platformer Vagante will be coming out later this month on console. The game has done well for itself on PC over the years, but now it's time to expand and move into new territory. Specifically for Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo Switch platforms. The game will be released across all three, including next-gen, on January 27th, 2022. You can check out a new trailer below showing off how the game will play on console.

Vagante is a very challenging class-based roguelike with emphasis on combat, the art style uses desaturated but warm colors with a bit of a gritty style, influenced by titles like Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre and Vagrant Story. In the search for an insurmountable treasure, players can join up to 3 other friends locally or online, and face the dangerous dungeons inhabited by fierce creatures and bosses.  The quality of the game and the organic growth in the number of players caught the attention of BlitWorks (which has previous experience working on other roguelites with online multiplayer, such as Spelunky 2 and Heroes of Hammerwatch: Ultimate Edition) to port and publish the game to consoles, thus enabling many new players to discover the fascinating world of Vagante.
