Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights PlayStation Release Delayed

Binary Haze Interactive’s latest Metroidvania title, Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, has been making a splash on PC and Switch since coming out of Early Access. It released on Xbox One on the 28^th of June (yesterday), but players will have to wait a little bit longer for a PlayStation release.

Originally intended to release alongside the Xbox One version, an as-yet-unnamed delay has caused the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions to now have a new release window of Q3 2021. As someone who has played the game on PC, it is definitely worth the wait. Here is what the press release has to say in regards to the game’s Xbox release.

“Developers Live Wire, Adglobe Tokyo, and Adglobe Montreal Studio complete the full game with five gorgeously hand-illustrated new areas compared to the Steam Early Access version, bringing the total up to eight. Each additional environment offers challenging new bosses and mysterious secrets to uncover.

The ENDER LILIES soundtrack has also released on streaming services Spotify and Apple Music, as well as on storefronts iTunes and Amazon Music, and Steam as a DLC. Composed by Mili, a veteran musical group with credits on anime shows such as Ghost in the Shell and Goblin Slayer and rhythm games with millions of fans like Cytus and Deemo, the ENDER LILIES soundtrack sets a hauntingly melancholy stage for the narrative.

Awaken in a cathedral, fight your way past the horrors lying in wait within, and step out into a cursed rain devastating the kingdom of Land’s End. Guide priestess Lily safely past the blighted undead, formerly happy residents of her homeland, on a quest to find the source of the rain of death and end it once and for all.

Defeat former friends turned deadly bosses, then exorcise them of the blight to bring them into your party as equippable companion spirits. Mix and match these lost and found souls to create an ethereal bodyguard squad wielding massive clubs, magical bullet hell volleys, and other devastating skills to overcome challenges and traverse a world painted in a Japanese dark fantasy aesthetic.”

Hiroyuki Kobayashi, CEO of Binary Haze Interactive, also commented on the release, stating: “ENDER LILIES draws from many inspirations, but the end product is a wholly unique Metroidvania that appeals to fans of the genre while welcoming less experienced action RPG players into the fold. We’ve already had so much positive feedback in Early Access and look forward to seeing how players enjoy the full story now that it’s in their hands.”

Xbox players are in for a treat, and I’m sure that even though PlayStation players have to wait a little while, they’re in for something great too. Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is available now on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
