The Siege and the Sandfox is set to release next month on May 20, 2025, as announced by the developer Cardboard Sword and publisher PLAION. The game will be available on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and Humble with a price of $14.99.

The Sandfox is well known due to the legendary line of faithful protectors and servants to the crown. You will discover the majestic palace in the ancient desert city during your adventure in this Stealthvania. Using your master parkour abilities, you'll be able to unveil a threat from the ruins that could bring ruin to the kingdom.
Olly Bennett, Cardboard Sword CEO, said, “We are excited for our debut title, The Siege and the Sandfox, to finally get into players’ hands. Developing a meaningful 2D stealth game has been an ambitious undertaking for the team, and we are eager for our fans to play and enjoy it”.
“As a studio, we set out on this development journey to create a new indie game IP with a unique 2D stealth element. Art led a lot of our development process, inspiring the narrative and gameplay mechanics. The hand-animated retro-style pixel art, combined with the hand-painted normal maps and Unreal lighting and effects, provides an incredibly rich visual for players, really immersing them into the game world of the Sandfox.”

The Siege and the Sandfox features rich, retro-style pixel art, hand-animated frame-by-frame, and modern effects from Unreal Engine. The tension and threat posed by this new evil are highlighted by immersive and dynamic audio.
You will be able to purchase The Siege and the Sandfox via Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and Humble, and enjoy the experience from May 20.
