PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions are headed west before you know it.

Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World is slated to arrive on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on May 28, 2021 in North America, Europe and Australia, ININ Games has announced. It will be offered in both physical and digital editions, for all of your collecting needs.

Developed by ArtDink, Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World is a remake of Monster World 4, which is included exclusively in the retail editions of the game priced at $39.99 / £34.99.

Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World tells the story of Asha and her companion Pepelogoo, who are tasked with freeing four spirits who have been captured by evil forces. The plot is unchanged from the original version, but the developers have dressed up the remake with 3D graphics of the cell-shaded variety (you know you love them), along with 2D gameplay that sticks close to the original.
