Quirky Adventure Game The Knightling Debuts in August 2025
Saber Interactive and indie developer Twirlbound will release their fantasy action-adventure The Knightling together on Aug. 28, 2025, for PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch. It’s the old tale of eventually filling the shoes of your mentor in the face of great adversity.
This particular tale is set in the world of Clesseia where its knight and protector Sir Lionstone has gone missing. As his knight-in-training – a knightling – it’s up to players to assume the role of guardian and wield the mentor’s shield in a quest to find him.
The Knightling draws inspiration from The Legend of Zelda series with a mix of exploration, completing quests and engaging in combat in an open world.
“Wield a massive shield, embark on an epic journey across the land, and become the protector the people need in this light-hearted tale of bravery, chivalry, and magic,” the game creators said in a press release. “Though your task may be great, never forget that all heroes start small.”

Gameplay Features
The character’s shield is more than just a weapon to throw at enemies. It’s a multipurpose tool that can be used to paraglide, slide on, or bash monsters, and its abilities can be upgraded along the way to rescue Sir Lionstone.
