Time is your currency, secrets are your upgrades, and the timeline is unravelling. Developer Moonlight Kids, alongside publisher Akupara Games are thrilled to announce that Echo Weaver — the breathtaking time-loop metroidvania — is available right now across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Game Pass, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and Microsoft Store.
The launch trailer has debuted today, following the Weaver — the last of their kind — as they race, leap, and flow through a world where reality itself threatens to rewind at any moment.
A World Unspun — The Gilded Ruin Awaits
Once a paradise, the Gilded Ruin now hangs in fragile fragments, held together only by fraying threads of time. You are the final Weaver, bound to a mysterious, reality-bending glaive, and tasked with piecing together not just what happened — but why. Who — or what — is the Congregation? And how did a shining utopia collapse into broken echoes?
This isn’t a story of grinding stronger to smash through walls. This is a journey of understanding: what you learn matters more than what you loot.
Knowledge Is Power — The “Metroidbrainia” Revolution
Echo Weaver reimagines the metroidvania blueprint, and developer Moonlight Kids calls it a “metroidbrainia” — and here’s why:
- No gear, no level-ups, no stat boosts — your only upgrades are the secrets you uncover and the truths you grasp
- Learn the ability, master the moment — the game doesn’t gate you behind unlocks. If you figure out how to do something, you can do it. Discover a technique early? Use it early
- Choreography over reaction — success isn’t about lightning-fast reflexes alone. It’s about rhythm, memorisation, and finding the perfect flow through shifting hazards. Master the pattern, and you’ll glide through danger as if you’re dancing
Time Is The Resource — Spend It Wisely
The loop itself is your lifeline — and it’s finite:
- Gather echoes to extend your remaining time
- Spend time to heal, trade with denizens, or unlock hidden paths and sealed chambers
- Rewind & retry — when the clock runs out, you return to the start, but everything you’ve learned stays with you. The map knowledge, the shortcuts, the enemy tells — you are the permanent progress
Each loop brings you closer to perfection. Memorise the ruin’s pulse. Anticipate its twists. Make every run tighter, swifter, more complete.
