Developer Exalted Studio and publisher Dear Villagers has announced Big Helmet Heroes, a beat ’em up coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles later this year.

The game, playable solo or with a friend in two-player co-op, sees you take on the role of adorable knights as they journey across a fantasy realm on a mission to save the princess.

Play as four heroes with unique combat styles and weapons: the Warrior skilled with a sword and shield; the slower Brute who wields a giant two-handed weapon; the stealth-based and speedy Rogue; and the fluid and aerial Monk.

Exalted Studio teases “cutting-edge animations” and “state-of-the-art visuals”, and promises expansive levels that “push the boundaries of creativity”, which you can preview in the trailer below.

Big Helmet Heroes launches this year for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles. Check back for a release date!
