The excellent Momodora: Moonlit Farewell makes console debut on February 6

This time last year, the finale of Bombservice’s Momodora series of indie Metroidvanias had just hit PC, and as revealed during today’s PLAYISM Game Show Mini, Moonlit Farewell is making the leap to c♏onsoles on F💎ebruary 6, 2025.

While there’s no shortage of options for Metroidvanias, there’s something truly special about the Momodora series. You’ll soon be able to explore this excellent swan song on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Here’s a Switch trailer from the announcement for another look at what Moonlit Farewell has to offer.

For my money, Momodora: Moonlit Farewell ticks all the right boxes. It’s not too long but still clocks in with a beefier adventure than its predecessors. The visuals are outstanding, the bosses are all fun to fight, and the new Sigil system offers up a mix of interesting buffs and tempting risk-reward debuffs. 

As for new stuff, it sounds like the console version will just include content from the major updates, like the Boss Rush mode. The press release also mentions a newly added post-credits boss battle, which was also part of the PC version’s March 2024 update. 

It’s been 15 years since Guilherme “rdein” Martins first kicked the series off with the original Momodora. If you include the spiritual sequel. Minoria. there are six games in total, each worth the little time they ask of players. It’ll be nice to have more options soon to traverse the final entry’s expertly-woven map.
