Duskfade is a 3D action-adventure platformer from Spanish studio Weird Beluga, published by Fireshine Games. Players guide Zirian, a young hero accompanied by a mechanical Cuckoo companion, on a quest to rescue his sister after a mysterious clock tower plunges the world into eternal night. Built around momentum-based traversal, it lets you jump, dash, grapple, and glide through a clockpunk world while fighting with a versatile sword inspired by clock hands.
The game is confirmed to launch on Thursday, August 13, 2026, releasing simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The Switch 2 edition was added to the lineup alongside the date reveal in June 2026. A free demo is already available on Steam and PS5, and pre-orders are open ahead of launch, though Fireshine has not yet published an official standard-edition price.
Anticipation is running high because Duskfade wears its influences openly, evoking PS2-era classics such as Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank while wrapping them in a striking clockpunk art style. The recently expanded demo, shown during events including the Triple-i Initiative and the Future Games Show, has drawn strong interest for its colorful worlds and fluid movement. Beneath the nostalgic platforming sits a personal story about siblings, memory, and grief that the team has said draws on real-life experience.
