Developmentedit
Tiny Roar is based in Hamburg, Germany.[2] Assemble Entertainment released XEL for Windows on July 12, 2022; Switch two days later; and for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on April 21, 2023.[3] The same day it was ported to consoles, the Breaking TimeDLC was released. This adds another chapter to the story.[4]
Receptionedit
XEL received unfavorable reviews on Metacritic.[5]Nintendo Life said it had the potential to be a good science fiction Zelda-style game, but software bugs and performance issues made it an "ultimately unsatisfying experience".[1]TouchArcade said it was a decent action-adventure game that Zelda fans may enjoy, but the number of technical issues they experienced made it a "mild recommendation".[6]Nintendo World Report called the story "quite boring and lackluster" and said it is "absolutely one of the worst performing games I've seen on the Switch".[7]
