Acclaimed Artistic Metroidvania Constance Out Now On Switch, PlayStation & Xbox

Blue Backpack and co-publishing partners ByteRockers’ Games and PARCO GAMES are pleased to announce that their acclaimed 2D hand-drawn metroidvania, Constance, is out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch for $19.99 / €19.99 / £16.75.

Winning glowing praise when it was released on PC late in 2025, Constance has been called “among the best the metroidvania genre has to offer” and has won comparisons to the likes of Hollow Knight and Celeste. With today’s release, console players can now experience the metroidvania exploration and flow-state platforming and combat that PC players loved for themselves.

Transform into paint to dive into the ground and walls, slice through the air and enemies, and utilize an array of unique brush techniques to experience a constant state of flow. But beware: using your brush techniques will corrupt your paint. Rely on them too much and you’ll become fully corrupted, so learn to strive for balance! Become stronger by unlocking new brush techniques, defeating threatening foes, overcoming platforming challenges, and solving complex puzzles to advance your progress as you uncover Constance’s past! Help her understand her personal struggles, unlock her creativity, and find her inner purpose.

Explore more than six unique biomes in Constance’s inner-world, with each region featuring a unique set of enemies and characters representing different aspects of her psyche and personal history. Uncover countless secrets, multiple paths, deadly boss battles, characters, side quests and collectibles in this nonlinear interconnected inner-world.
