About

Moadra is a 2D sci-fi Metroidvania developed and published by Gloomsoft, a studio from Finland. You are Lieutenant Moadra Meras of the Neera elites, sent to the sand-swept planet Protea VI to uncover a lost heritage: the Neera’s ancestors died out there 20,000 years ago, and the sin that ended them is still waiting below the sand.

Protea VI is one vast interconnected world, from its desolate surface to its freezing summits and an alien-infested research facility. Moadra rolls, dodges, wall-jumps and sprints through it, fighting everything from skittering pests to gargantuan monsters, absorbing their Protoplasm to evolve new abilities in organic chambers. A scanner bot’s X-ray vision reveals hidden paths, puzzles and secrets. It is dark, atmospheric and gory, with a clear debt to Aliens.

Moadra is out October 22, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, Nintendo Switch and Windows (Steam).
