Silent Planet: Elegy of a Dying World is shaping up to be one of the most atmospheric Metroidvanias on the horizon. Developed by Vertex Zero Games and published by Red Dunes Games, it combines dark gothic art, rich pixel detail, and a somber tone that immediately stands out among recent indie releases.
Set in a decaying world filled with mystery and danger, players take on the role of a lone traveler uncovering the remnants of a civilization long gone. The haunting environments and hand-crafted animations hint at a story steeped in sorrow, sacrifice, and beauty, qualities that have already earned the game comparisons to Blasphemous and Castlevania.
The buzz around the project continues to grow, with the developers recently celebrating a major milestone of 20,000 wishlists on Steam. This surge of interest reflects just how strongly the game’s visual style and tone have resonated with the Metroidvania community.
Silent Planet: Elegy of a Dying World does not yet have a release date, but it’s already clear this title is one to keep an eye on.
Wishlist Silent Planet: Elegy of a Dying World on Steam
This is definitely on my wishlist now! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
But it says Q4 2026, that’s quite a wait 🙂
I have high hopes for this game and a good feeling it’s gonna be worth the wait!
This game looks sick. I’m calling it as a contender for GOTY 2026.
