2D action platformer 'Skul: The Hero Slayer' from SouthPAW Games (@southpaw_games) and NEOWIZ (@NEOWIZWest) is now avaiable to pre-order for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Series S, ahead of its October 21 release. Check out what fun awaits you in the brand-new trailer!

Skul: The Hero Slayer is a fast-paced action rogue-lite where losing your head is encouraged. Featuring 90 playable characters each with their own unique abilities and a ton of items that can create wild synergies, the battles are as electrifying as they are challenging.

Skul is no ordinary skeleton. In addition to his formidable fighting skills, he can gain new and exciting abilities depending on which skull he's wearing. Use up to 2 skulls at a time, each of which has its own unique attack range, speed and power. Choose combos that match your playing style and switch them in the heat of battle to bring your enemies to their knees. The power is in your hands!

Go head-to-head with massive bosses corrupted with Dark Quartz and powerful beyond belief. Derived from the pain and hate of life itself, Dark Quartz taints and takes control of everything it touches.

The game is available to pre-order on the Microsoft Store right now for $19.99. You can pre-download Skul today, but it will not be playable until the official release date/time (check the Xbox Store for release date/time in your region).

Skul: The Hero Slayer will launch for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Switch on October 21st, 2021.
