That’s right, kids. You have the pow-uh!
Limited Run Games has announced today that He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction has a release date for consoles and PC. And, as expected, it’s dropping on MOTU day — April 28th!
When Skeletor uncovers the ancient Dragon Pearl of Destruction, a relic of unspeakable power, he joins forces with Evil-Lyn to plunge all of Eternia into eternal darkness, and only He-Man, Man-At-Arms and Teela can save the planet.
Developed by retro specialists Bitmap Bureau in collaboration with Mattel, this all-new 2D arcade brawler launches digitally April 28 on PC and consoles. Players can battle solo or in two-player co-op in a fast-paced adventure inspired by the classic animated series, complete with unique character abilities and epic, screen-clearing powers. Here’s what else gamers can expect:
