Future Knight is out on PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Weeks after its August 14 launch, it holds a 98% positive rating from 116 Steam user reviews and 4.8 stars from 20 PlayStation Store reviews.
Studio Koba's Future Knight arrived on August 14 for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game was announced the week before with an August 14 date for Japan. It is a 2D action shooter styled after 1980s LCD games, set in 1993, where a cult leader is erasing human memory. Players control the robot Future Knight and a companion tumor named Two More across stages that each cover one hour of an eight-hour countdown.
Publisher Aeternum Game Studios handled the release. The two studios had separate track records before this: Studio Koba made Narita Boy, and Aeternum made Aeterna Noctis. The launch pairing is the reason the game exists in this form, with a two-character choreography combat system built around Future Knight and Two More. The game launched at 1,980 yen, with a 10 percent Steam discount through August 28.
The weeks after launch changed how the game was found. On September 17, a Reddit thread from Aeternum Game Studios drew about 3,600 upvotes, and an X post about the game drew about 2,500 likes. The audience arrived through those posts rather than through the launch window. By mid-September, the game held a 98% positive rating from 116 Steam user reviews and 4.8 stars from 20 PlayStation Store reviews, which is the most recent state of the record.
