During the Japanese State of Play presentation, a game was shown that is sure to appeal to fans of Hollow Knight and Silksong. In terms of quality, it is in no way inferior to its inspirers.
Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse is published with the support of Pocketpair Publishing, the publishing division of the studio that created Palworld. It is a stylish Metroidvania, made in a recognizable Asian visual style, but with the obvious influence of Team Cherry's artistic style.
At State of Play, it was confirmed that Never Grave will be released on March 5, 2026, a good time to launch a game of this format.
Judging by the presented footage, the project looks confident and is able to compete with well-known creations of the genre. Sony's attention to such experimental games confirms that the company is still ready to support unusual and auteur projects that can stand out among major releases.
