A brand new third-person action game called Devil's Hunt is launching on Steam next month. It's planned for consoles, too, and a Switch version has now been confirmed for a 2020 release.

The game is based on 'Equilibrium', an original novel by Paweł Leśniak. It has you playing as Desmond, a man who has the power to decide the fate of humanity in a world full of fighting between light and darkness, good and evil, and between Angels and Demons. Fans of the Devil May Cry series might notice some similarities between that and this new release - make sure to check out the trailer above.

We'll let the press release set the scene:

"Step into the designer shoes of Desmond, your not-so-friendly neighbourhood anti-hero and general Miami nuisance. Turns out, he’s forged a deal with the devil and is firmly planted in the middle of a cosmic struggle between angels and demons. With the fate of humankind hanging in the balance, Desmond must come to grips with his demonic new powers as he literally punches his way through hell, taking down all manner of fearsomely angelic and demonic creatures."

We've also got some screenshots for you below, although it's worth pointing out that these have not been taken from the Switch version of the game.
