The wait for GRIME on Switch is almost over, as Akupara Games and Clover Bite announced a final release date today. It’s slated for January 25, 2024.

On the same day, players will be able to gain access to the final DLC dubbed Parting Shade. Akupara teases: “Players will conjure all of their might as they face their biggest challenges yet with a new explorable area in GRIME, forcing even the most veteran of metroidvania players to lock-in and fight toe-to-toe with adversity, wrapping up the long hard fought trilogy that is GRIME Definitive Edition.”

Read more about GRIME via the following overview:

GRIME has rooted itself in the metroidvania playerscape with its anatomical horror, soulslike leveling progression, and innovative parry system. Creative Director, Yarden Weissbrot, saw the opportunity, the hunger, the drive for more GRIME and wanted to deliver on that possibility as his deep knowledge of the metroidvania playerscape saw that something was missing. This allowed developer Clover Bite the ability to fill that hole and create GRIME Definitive Edition, the ultimate way to explore GRIME including the base game and three free DLCs: Colors of Rot, Tinge of Terror, and the newly introduced, Parting Shade.
In GRIME, you control a nameless embodiment of destruction — hacking and slashing your way through an aberrant landscape where rock-formed monsters rule. Armed with various “living weapons” and a black hole head, you consume the essence of the fallen to strengthen your vessel and unlock powerful upgrades.
