You've been waiting for it, now it's here: the physical release of Panzer Paladin[limitedrungames.com] for Nintendo Switch by Limited Run Games. The time-limited preorder has already started and ends January 24th at 11:59 PM (ET).

[limitedrungames.com]Also available, the Panzer Paladin Collectors' Limited Edition[limitedrungames.com] including the game on Switch with reversible cover, a complete 4-CD set including both Original and Classic 8-bit soundtracks, premium metal figures of Flame and Grit and a 18"x24" reversible poster. All of it housed in an outer box featuring unique cover art.

We are also releasing a vinyl soundtrack[limitedrungames.com] for Panzer Paladin. It's a triple LP including the full Original soundtrack of the game and selected tracks from the Classic 8-bit soundtrack. All tracks - including the Classic 8-bit ones that were left out of the vinyl release - will be available digitally through an included download code. The cover is inspired from 60's jazz vinyl covers. Preorder window is the same as for the game.
[limitedrungames.com][limitedrungames.com]Will the physical copy include the latest Challenge Core content update?
Sure thing!

Will Panzer Paladin for Switch be released elsewhere? What about a European release?
Since the console is region-free, this Limited Run Games release is the only one planned for Switch. It is possible a standard edition of the game will be available at Best Buy (distributed by Limited Run Games again) but there is nothing confirmed as of now so it is better not to count on it. Collectors' Edition is only available through the Limited Run Games website.

When will this release ship?
Since it is a preorder, it is not expected to ship until 4-5 months after the preorder window closes in late January.

Is this a Limited Run numbered release?
Panzer Paladin is not part of the Limited Run Games Collection and is not a numbered release. Limited Run is distributing Panzer Paladin on our behalf.


Now we wanted to take a moment to wish you a merry Christmas and happy holidays! And here's to 2021!

Hey guys!

Yes, 2 Steam announcements in 3 days, that might be a record for us! This time we need your help!

It's that time of there year when the Steam community has the power to bring some games under the spotlight. This would mean a lot to us if you could spend just 2 seconds to go to the Panzer Paladin store page to nominate it for Best Soundtrack! Or if you think it would fit better in another category ("Best Game You Suck At" perhaps!) you are free to select a different one, of course.

If you've played Panzer Paladin or just watched our trailers a couple of times, we wouldn't be surprised if we caught you humming the Panzer Paladin theme or doing some air-guitar on the riffs from the USA level. Patrice Bourgeault has been the music composer for almost all of our games. For Panzer Paladin, not only did he work on a full hard-rock infused 16-bit style soundtrack with 37 tracks, but he also worked on a complete classic 8-bit version of that soundtrack. So that's basically 2 soundtracks and you can pick the one you want to hear in-game!

If you haven't heard about the Classic 8-bit soundtrack, it's simply because it was only released this Monday with the Challenge Core free content update. Get all the details about that update in our previous Steam announcement.

And let's not forget the Powerglove metal version of the Panzer Paladin theme used in the launch trailer and also unlockable in-game. With characters such as a gigantic armor, a fierce pilot and an evil raven-like demon, it just made sense to have a version of the theme by the nintendocore band. Plus, they were amazing to work with. If you haven't heard it yet, you HAVE to! Check out this video.
If you are interested to learn more about the making of the Panzer Paladin Original Soundtrack, click here[www.theongaku.com] to read an exclusive interview with composer Patrice Bourgeault.

If you want to own the Original and Classic soundtracks, they are both available through Steam. Other wise you can get them on Bandcamp[patricebourgeault.bandcamp.com] or stream the Original soundtrack on all major music streaming platforms.

We hope you'll consider casting your vote for Panzer Paladin in the Best Soundtrack category.

Until next time,

Good news! We're having a free content update for Panzer Paladin and it's available... today! It is already included in the base game. So if you purchase Panzer Paladin or already have it in your library, simply update the game and you will have access to all the Challenge Core content.

This new content update includes the following new features:

• New Challenge Mode with 11 rooms to truly test your skills
  
• Speedrun replay and leaderboard now available for all new rooms
  
• Brand New Classic 8-bit Soundtrack Option
  
• Blacksmith Weapons Storage Increased

The new Challenge Mode offers 11 hardcore rooms to train and improve your skills. Pick up 7 Tribute cores in each room! Swiftly make your way through an array of pits, spikes, and enemies in record breaking time. Speedrun replay and leaderboards are also available for all new rooms.

Patrice Bourgeault is back at it with a demake of the original soundtrack. You can make your way through the game with a classic 8-bit complete soundtrack for an on-target retro experience. Choose the 8-bit soundtrack from the options menu before entering the game. Don’t worry, the Original soundtrack didn’t go anywhere, it is still available!

Pssst! You can also own the 8-bit soundtrack for a ridiculously low price right here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1451790/Panzer_Paladin_Classic_8bit_Soundtrack

You asked for it and now we have it! Benefit from a larger armory to store your custom weapons created with the Blacksmith. You can now store up to 12 custom weapons. That means more melee goodness for everyone!

Don’t feel like playing with custom made weapons? We’ve now made it possible for you to only play with the base weapons made by the devs. Turn off the Blacksmith filter in the options menu and only the 100 original weapons will drop in-game.

Check out the trailer on YouTube!


Along with the above extra content, we’ve also fixed and improved the base game. Here’s a list of additional changes from the most recent patch.
- Removed some buses in U.S.A. level that could be confused for platforms
- Fixed Recharge Station button prompt in German
- Fixed potential soft lock in Tanzania
- Changed Gauntlet Achievement text from "maxed out burden" to "high spirit burden"

We hope to get to see some of your challenge mode runs! Don't hesitate to share them with us on our Discord server[discord.gg] or on the Steam community discussion board.

Take up the gauntlet!

Greetings to all you Squire pilots out there!

For the first time, we are releasing a free Steam demo for Panzer Paladin. It's already available for download on PC.

• The Canada level (Story Mode) including boss encounter
  
• Blacksmith mode (Offline mode. Your weapon will not be shared with the community)
  
• Speedrun mode for the Canada level
  
• A glance at the world map

With the purchase of the full game, you'll be able to access all 17 hand-crafted levels, speedrun mode with replay for all levels and a unique tournament mode. Leaderboards are also unlocked for the 2 latter modes. In the Blacksmith mode, more custom weapon slots will be unlocked and you'll be able to share your creations online with other players!

Have a friend that has Panzer Paladin on their wishlist? Let them know they can try out the game now.

I mean, the subtitle's technically true! You can indeed control the mighty Paladin and explore the Canada level. You can also try to do it strictly on foot with the small Squire pilot. That's a fresh challenge!

Talk to you soon...
With more updates...!

Cheers,
The Tribute Team

Hey everyone!

Thanks to your feedback and reports, we were able to quickly point out and fix some bugs in Panzer Paladin. We are happy to announce that the disappearing bug with Nian, China's weapon keeper, is fixed. We have also fixed that frustrating bug that happened to some of you that made you lose progress in the Inverted Tower when exiting the game to come back later. (You still shouldn't go back to the World Map in between stages.)

Today's patch includes the following.

This patch will also come to Nintendo Switch sometime later in August.

*Fixed Nian (China boss) disappearing
*Game Over no longer wipes Inverted Tower progression
*Fixed Tournament mode crash
*Fixed savegame play time reporting twice the actual time played
*Fixed curse reset. (ie. used to be able to stay in slowmo after death)
*Canada Story: Added a ceiling collision to prevent glitches in transition between part 3 and 4.
*Canada Remix: Added a ceiling collision to prevent glitches in transition between part 4 and 5.
*Japan Story and Remix: Changed dectection direction on some exploding blocks to prevent softlocks and cheap deaths with Flame.
*Japan, USA, Ravenous City, Catacombs (story and remix): Fixed missing collisions in easy mode.

*Tweaked Catacombs level art

Reminder: Steam trading cards & badges are now also available!

It is now possible to listen to the soundtrack on all major music streaming services including Spotify and YouTube Music!

Own the full 37-track soundtrack of the game by getting it on Steam:

The Panzer Paladin gameplay trailer is here!

Watch here!
The showdown between mankind’s technological prowess and the powerful forces of the occult has begun! Hop in your Paladin and take up arms!

The trailer quickly reveals a new feature of the game called the Blacksmith. This mode allows you - yes, you! - to draw actual weapon pixel sprites, name them, assign them various attributes (attack damage, durability, spell, etc.), and share them with your friends through the Steam Workshop. These weapons can then be obtained in-game by defeating a certain character. We’ll stop right there or we’d have to tag our spoilers!

(For people waiting for the Nintendo Switch edition, this feature will also be available but weapons, however you will not be able to share them on the Steam Workshop.)

Don't forget to wishlist on Steam if not already done!

Stay tuned for further announcements!
