Axiom Verge, the acclaimed retro-styled action platformer, will launch for Xbox One and Wii U later this year, developer Tom Happ has announced.

The game was extremely well received on PS4 and PC, and is coming to Xbox One thanks to new support for the MonoGame framework.

Axiom Verge is heavily influenced by Metroid, Contra, Blaster Master, and other classics. Happ created the entire game by working evenings and weekends over the course of five years.
