11 February, 2020 – It’s with regret that Digerati has to announce the Nintendo Switch release of 2D RPG-platformer Underhero has been delayed to 27 February. Originally scheduled to come out later this week, the decision to delay has been taken to ensure that a patch to address a number of issues will be available at launch.

A day one patch will be available for the PS4 and Xbox One versions, so they will launch as planned on 11/12 February (NA/EU) and 14 February respectively.

While we’re hugely disappointed Nintendo Switch owners have a little longer to wait, delaying Underhero means players will be able to experience the best possible version of the game on day one.

29 January, 2020 – Indie publisher Digerati is delighted to announce that it’s bringing the colorful 2D RPG-platformer Underhero to consoles next month.

The debut game from Venezuelan studio Paper Castle, Underhero is inspired by Paper Mario (among many other RPGs) and offers its own oddball spin on RPG adventures with a special timing-based combat system, old-school platforming fun, a quirky cast of characters, and a lighthearted story about an unlikely hero on an unforgettable journey to save a kingdom.

Underhero will be available to download 11/12 February on PS4 (NA/EU respectively), 13 February on Nintendo Switch, and 14 February on Xbox One. There will be a 20% launch discount on PS4 and Nintendo Switch, and a 20% discount for anyone who pre-orders Underhero from the Microsoft Store.

Underhero turns the hero journey on its head, casting players in the role of an underling who begrudgingly embarks on a perilous quest. Aided by a magical companion, the accidental adventurer must purge all evil from the Chestnut Kingdom.

“Underhero began as a humble passion project inspired by our love for Nintendo RPGs. After many years of hard work, we are extremely happy to share the world we’ve created with a bigger audience than ever before,” say Kay & Andie of Paper Castle. “Get ready to experience a unique battle system and a subversive story full of twists and turns, now on your favorite console!”
