The Future Games Summer Showcase brought us even more game footage and trailers than we have gotten in the past few days. Now, we all know that many gamers are still waiting for more news about the fabled Silksong. But what if there were something comparable and coming soon? Let's look no further than Constance.

Constance, developed by btf (known for their prior releases of Trüberbrook and Dino Dino), will be bringing more Hollow Knight vibes to gamers on November 24, 2025. This 2D Metroidvania platformer will drop you in the role of Constance. Constance will use her paint-based mechanics to traverse various levels and slice her way through a medley of enemies. Using your brush as your main weapon, become stronger and unlock new techniques for Constance. However, there is a price – using the brush techniques will corrupt your paint. Negative effects await Constance if she becomes fully corrupted.

Constance Gameplay and Story

As Constance, you'll be able to explore six unique biomes, each filled with their own secrets, paths, characters, side quests, and even collectibles. These unique levels are connected to the inner-world and mental health journey of Constance. As you can expect, each biome will represent the different facets of her psyche and her own personal history.

In the game’s world, you will also be able to experience playable flashbacks of her journey. Dive deeper into the personal struggles, creativity, work-life balance, and inner purpose that our character wrestles with on a daily basis.

Unlike many other Metroidvania games, Constance allows the player a unique choice. Upon death, will you continue your journey for a price? Or will you retreat to safer grounds and explore other paths not yet beaten. The choice will be yours!

Constance is currently slated a release to Steam in November 2025 and has a demo available to try out today! Also, be sure to check out Gamer Social Club’s full coverage of the Future Games Summer Showcase for all the big announcements we got earlier today.
