PM Studios and developer Pocket Trap have announced Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, the world's first "yoyovania" for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
The game is set to launch on May 28th, 2025, with a demo available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and PC. Additionally, there will be a physical Collector's Edition released as well, exclusive to the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 versions of the game.
Here is the official overview, screenshot gallery, and new trailer as provided to us by PM Studios.
Overview:
In this 2D platforming adventure you’ll play as Pippit, an endearing bat on a mission to reclaim the Pipistrello family’s influence following the kidnapping of his dear auntie. Using Pippit’s trusty yoyo as a weapon, you will explore a sprawling urban landscape, learning new tricks and fighting rival crime bosses to restore your family’s once powerful legacy.
Discover and experiment with over 40 equipable badges and 20 passive upgrades that change the way you play. Combining certain badges might make you more powerful in battle or subtly alter the way your yoyo works — it’s up to you to find the right mix.
