Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege is a 2D action platformer developed by Lillymo Games, set for release in 2026 across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Styled after NES-era games, it takes place in late-17th century Europe, where players control Rudiger, a former soldier armed with the Spear of Sacrilege. The central conflict pits Rudiger against Father Pacer, a corrupt Catholic priest whose influence threatens the Holy Roman Empire. Across numerous stages, players battle a variety of enemies in hack-and-slash combat marked by substantial gore. The game blends arcade-style action with adventure elements, drawing on the aesthetic conventions of classic 8-bit titles while building a setting rooted in a specific historical period.
The year is 1698. A mysterious figure named Father Pacer has shattered the peace negotiated after the War of the Grand Alliance, obsessively and violently stealing Catholic relics throughout the Holy Roman Empire. Can the ex-soldier-turned-farmer Rudiger protect his people from a power-mad priest and his horde of monsters and minions? Can he become Saint Slayer?
