Chiba, Japan, September 25, 2024 — INTI CREATES has unveiled “Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark”, their newest 2D action game project, ahead of Tokyo Game Show 2024. They have announced that development has begun on the new game and a trailer will be on display at the INTI CREATES booth (Hall 8-S02) at the show.
 
Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark

“Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark” is a 2D action adventure starring two characters new to the series. Servants of the Dark takes the tight action players enjoyed in “Gal Guardians: Demon Purge” and vastly increases the exploration and collection elements, shifting genres completely to a full Metroidvania for an all-new experience.

Servants of the Dark also moves the setting from a single demonic castle to the entirety of the demon world. Players will control two demon maids as they explore the underworld: “Kirika” and her younger sister “Masha.” They each have different attacks and abilities, requiring players to switch between the two as they explore each area, upgrade their weapons, defeat demonic bosses, and revive their master, the Demon Lord Maxim.
 
Additionally, Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark features online 2-player co-op, allowing two players anywhere in the world to control the two sisters simultaneously. INTI CREATES is deep in development on the title, ensuring every element of gameplay is on the cutting edge of 2D action and exploration.

A teaser trailer is available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/xl420g0QaEo


Extended Trailer at Tokyo Game Show 2024

For four days from September 26th to 29th, INTI CREATES will have an extended trailer for Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark at their Tokyo Game Show 2024 booth (Hall 8-S02) at the Makuhari Messe exhibition hall.

The trailer at the show will have content not released online until a later date, so don’t miss this chance to see it!


Use each sister to her full potential


The two stars of Servants of the Dark are the sisters Kirika and Masha, maids to the Demon Lord Maxim.


The demon maid Kirika is a cool and collected long-range master. She creates guns out of thin air, defeating enemies from a safe distance.


Her younger sister Masha is an expert with her whip, capable of conjuring multiple effects.
Players will need to switch between the two maids as they adventure through the underworld dominated by their enemies, repair their ruined demon castle, and strive to revive their Demon Lord!
