Independent Swedish developer Decemberborn Interactive has shared a brand-new trailer for Cathedral: Crow’s Curse, an upcoming 2D action-adventure prequel set within the universe of the original Cathedral. Debuting during the Convergence Showcase, the new trailer gives a fresh glimpse into the title’s exploration and tight platforming.

Cathedral: Crow’s Curse expands the series’ lore with a narrative centered entirely around Crow – a highly skilled Shade Sentinel who fans will recognize as a notable NPC from the first game. When the ancient balance governing the mysterious Shade Forest begins to collapse, Crow is forced to venture deep into blighted woodlands and long-forgotten ruins.
The journey tasks players with uncovering the forgotten origins of the ancient Sentinel order while actively combating the rising dark forces that threaten to consume it. Combining atmospheric storytelling with precise combat and platforming challenges, this retro-inspired prequel aims to build upon its predecessor’s formula while treating players to entirely new biomes, skills, and gear.
A playable PC demo is now available on Steam, supporting English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Swedish.
