Summum Aeterna, an upcoming action RPG roguelite from developer and publisher Aeternum Game Studios, has officially slated its full release for September 14th, according to a new tweet released today. It will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox.

Summum Aeterna originally launched into Early Access in 2022, and that version is available now on PC. Here’s the official promo image from today’s announcement tweet:

Aeternum Game Studios recently held a small showcase last week featuring Summum Aeterna, so it’s a surprise that the devs didn’t confirm the concrete release date until now. The showcase even announced the studios’ next big IP, Eden Genesis, a cyberpunk adventure that’s expected to break from the Aeterna universe.

Either way, Summum Aeterna is a sleek and swift game that has thrived even in Early Access. Longtime fans of the franchise have enjoyed the synergy, and Summum Aeterna has still been able to find its own voice, even as the roguelite genre bloats.

It is frenetic, colorful, and boasts a lot of memorable imagery. The visuals really help it stand out, even with more than a few traditional mechanics. The stages and characters constantly discover new ways to bend the familiar and introduce interesting lore.

Now that Summum Aeterna is going to launch on consoles in mid-September, audiences should definitely respond, just as they did for Aeterna Noctis. There’s a built-in audience, and all of the fine-tuning in Early Access makes it feel relatively prepared. For example, the Legacy of the Arcana update from last April added unique cards, as well as The Board of Champions.
