KILL KNIGHT is an ultra-responsive arcade-inspired isometric action shooter in development at PlaySide Studios - the award-winning developers behind Age of Darkness: Final Stand.

Revealed during the Triple-i Initiative and set to launch later this year on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch, KILL KNIGHT challenges players to master the demon within as they descend through the voids of an eldritch arena, and harness a devastating arsenal of armor and weapons against swarms of otherworldly horrors.

Once a loyal knight, betrayed, and banished to the Abyss. A desecrated corpse inside reanimated armor. You rise to an eternal death. Branded KILL KNIGHT, you have one purpose - KILL THE LAST ANGEL.
