LUCID: A Vivid Metroidvania Adventure with Challenging Platforming Set for Early 2026 Release

**Trailer Announcement for LUCID Release Window**

Apogee Entertainment and Matte Black Studio have revealed that LUCID, a metroidvania set in a «crystal-punk» universe, is set to launch on PC and consoles in the first quarter of 2026.

In LUCID, players step into the shoes of Owen, a young Guardian tasked with restoring balance to the world of Aydin following a cataclysmic Fall. The protagonist will traverse vast interconnected environments, ranging from icy peaks to shimmering caverns and desolate cities, uncovering secrets and discovering new paths along the way.

The game promises exhilarating platforming, aerial combat, and challenging boss encounters. Throughout Owen’s journey, he will unlock «Crystal Arts»—abilities like blades, spears, and axes that not only alter combat styles but also assist in overcoming obstacles. Collected crystals and rare materials can be used to enhance gear and boost skills.

Players will be able to jump, fall into chasms, and try again in LUCID on PC (Steam), Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. Currently, only English localization has been confirmed.
