Team17 is partnering with French studio Saltitude Games to bring this low-resolution little hunter to PC. In the Nightwood, he will burn bright.
Team17 has officially announced Tiger Eater, a new dark fantasy action roguelite developed by the French studio Saltitude Games. The game is currently in development for PC and is scheduled for release in 2027.
Inspired by William Blake's classic poem "The Tyger," Tiger Eater casts players as a diminutive hunter on a noble yet blood-soaked journey, battling bizarre beasts and conquering over 1,000 handcrafted single-screen levels.
Tiger Eater features a distinctive low-resolution visual style, blending precise physics-driven combat, fluid simulation, and strategic action gameplay.
Armed with a simple bow and arrow, players accept the Queen's commission to find her missing son, Prince Galaad. In this 2D pixel adventure, each run delivers fast-paced combat and a wide variety of gameplay-altering power-ups.
These abilities not only adjust character attributes such as bleed damage, mobility, and arrow draw speed and weight, but also allow players to manipulate liquids, slow time, and unlock additional weapons like javelins, boomerangs, throwing knives, and traps.
Each new run offers different combat approaches, allowing players to press onward toward victory through ever-changing challenges.
Tiger Eater Announcement Trailer:
As fragments of past memories resurface, players will meet a cast of distinct characters, each striving to find their place in this dark and brutal world.
These include Sauterelle, a brave Kamane warrior with whom players can share meals and #Funtime; Machiavelli, the garden guardian with a mysterious past; and Dagaubert, the broad-minded "King of the World."
