All Articles: EarthNight

EarthNight dives onto the PC, PS4, and Switch on December 3

EarthNight is currently available to download for iOS devices through Apple’s Apple Arcade subscription service, but Cleaversoft’s hand-drawn platformer is also coming to the PC and consoles… and now we know when.

In EarthNight, dragons have captured the planet and forced the human race to take refuge on a series of massive space stations. Thankfully, a pair of heroes has emerged to take the Earth back while racing across the backs of these no-longer-mythological creatures:

Ever since dragons overtook Earth, mankind has lived in exile on space colonies orbiting the planet. Despite being faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, the unlikely duo — a sword-wielding freelance photographer and a young student blessed with ethereal superpowers — take it upon themselves to reclaim their home by skydiving through Earth’s atmosphere and striking back against the monsters below.

The two heroes approach their dragon-slaying mission with drastically different tactics. Stanley’s powerful legs allow him to make both high jumps and long leaps, while Sydney favors agility by making use of an air dash and double jump ability. Both heroes wield their bespoke skills to overcome hostile environments and push towards the vulnerable heads of their scaled serpentine foes.

EarthNight will be released for the PC, PS4, and Switch on December 3. A new trailer showcasing the game’s hand-drawn visuals and procedurally-generated dragons has been embedded above.

Rejoice! EarthNight is coming to PS4, Vita

Great news, everyone! Cleaversoft’s amazing runner, EarthNight, is coming to PlayStation 4 and Vita. The company made the announcement yesterday, and the composer, Chipocrite, followed up by releasing this incredible EP in honor of the reveal. I’ll take a moment to say that Cleaversoft and Chipocrite are both from Philadelphia. Philly represent!

The video above is the E3 demo gameplay trailer, and the game will be playable at Sony’s booth next week. EarthNight will be released “when it’s done,” and trust me, people: it’s worth the wait. The game will launch on PS4 first, then on iOS, Android, Vita, Mac, and PC.
