Gotta Protectors: Cart of Darkness is a Nintendo Switch multiplayer action game from Yuzo Koshiro’s company, Ancient. The third main game in the series, it follows 3DS title Gotta Protectors and Xbox 360 indie Protect Me Knight. A spinoff, Gotta Protectors: Amazon’s Training Road (also known as Amazon’s Running Diet), appeared as a new Famicom/NES release. Localization studio 8-4, which worked on the 3DS release, is also behind this game.

In February 2021, lead developer Karu_gamo told Siliconera that the English version of the game was “complete,” but Ancient made no announcements made about the game’s release.

You can check out the full announcement trailer below.

 
The physical version of the game will be available for pre-order from Limited Run Games starting March 25, 2022. In addition to a standard release, a Limited Edition of the game will include a physical soundtrack, pins, trading cards and an art and interview book. The soundtrack will contain songs from previous games in the series as well.

Ancient and 8-4 also launched an official site for the game, which for now houses only the game’s trailer.

Gotta Protectors: Cart of Darkness will launch April 14, 2022 on Nintendo Switch.
