ITORAH and XEL, a Pair of Visually Stunning Action Titles from Assemble Entertainment, are Coming to Consoles
As the cold weather retreats away and the rains of spring start to pour in, we’re sure the thoughts on everyone’s minds are pretty ubiquitous: I could go for a new game right about now. If the spring has got you in that mood, Assemble Entertainment has released not just one, but two of their hit titles, XEL and ITORAH, on console now.
Those of you looking for the visual marvel of a metroidvania will find one in ITORAH, developed by Grimbart Tales. Available now on Xbox One, Playstation 4, and Nintendo Switch, ITORAH is a one-of-kind blend of action, storytelling, and sheer aesthetic delight. Meanwhile, XEL, the 3D-adventure from developers Tiny Roar, is now available on Playstation 4 & 5. To make the deal even better, XEL’s console release signals the launch of a brand new DLC, Breaking Time!
ITORAH is a 2D side scrolling metroidvania, deeply ingrained in Mesoamerican style and themes. Players take control of the titular Itorah, the only human in the strange & unexplored lands of Nahucan. While it may be an unfamiliar environment, the beautiful hand-drawn visuals provide a welcoming presence along with a sense of visual wonder. But alas, not everything has the same appreciation for beauty as yourself. A deadly plague is sweeping across the land, so it is up to you to take up arms to defend this new world, and uncover its secrets.

Picking up right after XEL‘s dramatic conclusion, Breaking Time features over three hours of the dungeon crawling, boss fighting gameplay showcased in the mainline game. New puzzles, new challenges, new music, and a new chapter are unveiled in main character Reid’s ever evolving story. Additionally, Tiny Roar have heard the feedback from fans and have implemented numerous bug fixes and quality of life improvements to the title. PC players have been enjoying these gradual improvements as they rolled out, and all of these changes will be available in the console release on day one.
