2D Cyber-Fantasy MetroidVania SHADE Protocol Collaborating With CrossCode and Alabaster Dawn

The team at Radical Fish Games, together with Little Legendary, have revealed a special collaboration between the worlds of CrossCode, Alabaster Dawn, and the upcoming cyber-fantasy MetroidVania SHADE Protocol ahead of its June 4 Kickstarter.
This collaboration triple thread combines the fast-paced, pixel-art action RPG worlds these three titles are known for.
Each one features stylish combat, expressive characters, and a deep love for strange, spectacular worlds.

Kendall Quinones, Game Director at Little Legendary, said the following:
“CrossCode and Alabaster Dawn represent so much of what we love about indie games: depth, charm, mechanical creativity, and a clear artistic identity.
To have SHADE Protocol connected to those worlds in any way is incredibly meaningful for us. We are huge fans of Radical Fish Games, and we cannot wait for players to see what we have been working on together.”
In the interim, one can wishlist SHADE Protocol via its official Steam page, and can learn more via SHADE Protocol’s official Kickstarter page.

An official Discord channel is also available for those looking to join the conversation.
