SHADE Protocol, debut title from North American indie studio Little Legendary, is set to hit PC via Steam in 2026. This isn’t just another game; it’s a collision of music, code, and intense combat, promising something completely different. Revealed with a new trailer, this 2D cyber-fantasy Metroidvania throws you into a world of exploration and high-speed battles.
In SHADE Protocol, a rogue AI force is pushing the world towards total destruction, and you’re the key to stopping it. You’ll control a woman who can switch between two forms: DAWN and SHADE. Each form completely changes your combat style and abilities. Imagine DAWN as quick and agile, perfect for precise attacks, while SHADE unleashes raw, destructive power.
Your weapons, called Instruments, are anything but ordinary – every weapon is tied to a musical theme, making every fight feel like a symphony. The Protocols system is a true game-changer, letting you completely recode your playstyle and even enemies. You can combine specialized code fragments to tweak your attacks, defenses, or abilities, while also being able to hack foes to alter their behavior.
