Trailer: The mysticism of old Mexico comes to life in the Metroidvania Mariachi Legends

From Freedom Games and Halberd Studios, Mariachi Legends is one stylishly magical Metroidvania to watch. Here’s your first look.

The Day of the Dead

Go undercover alongside Detective Pablo Cruz and sneak amongst the mariachis during the Day of the Dead festivities in peaceful Santa Mascota. Encounter unearthly mysteries and meet a fantastical cast of characters, all while preparing to take down Don Emilio Obregon, the corrupt mayor of this otherwise pristine pueblo. 

Take Lady Death by the hand and swing swords to stop the criminal Don and find the all-powerful talisman of prophecy.

If you love Metroidvanias, or are just a fan of old school side-scrollers, keep an eye on Mariachi Legends. It looks like there might be something special spinning out of Mexico-based Halberd Studios.

There’s no release date just yet for this one, but you can expect to see Mariachi Legends land on the PC some time in 2024. Look for it on Steam, GOG, and Epic,
