Spike Chunsoft introduced that Shiren the Wanderer: The Thriller Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island is not going to solely be coming to the West, but additionally that it’s set for launch on February 27, 2024. The Thriller Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island — what a mouthful — would be the sixth recreation within the mainline Shiren the Wanderer collection. The final new entry we noticed on this collection was The Tower of Fortune and the Cube of Destiny, which got here out again in 2016.

The announcement trailer provides perception into what this iteration of Shiren the Wanderer entails. Supposedly, an enormous treasure lies in wait within the dungeon of Serpentcoil Island, and who else deserves to say it than Shiren and Koppa? It’s adopting a chibi-fied, cartoonish aesthetic, which traces up completely with the “again to fundamentals” idea the trailer mentions.

As with many different roguelikes, this can be a recreation the place you’ll die (rather a lot). And, if and while you do die, you additionally lose the whole lot you might have gathered throughout that run. So technique and cautious motion turns into extremely necessary on your survival. Particularly with procedurally generated, turn-based dungeons that reset each run. I can see a number of eventualities enjoying out in my head that may make me panic past creativeness. 

For these unfamiliar with Shiren the Wanderer, it’s the primary pioneer of the Thriller Dungeon franchise. Western players seemingly know this higher for its spinoffs just like the Pokemon Thriller Dungeon and Chocobo Thriller Dungeon collection’. So, should you’ve skilled both of these, you’ll have a good suggestion of what to anticipate right here. But when not, you may take the leap of religion when Shiren the Wanderer: The Thriller Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island launches completely for the Nintendo Swap on February 27, 2024.
