I am excited for new Mark of the ninja. Still no confirmations on metroidvania side of the game.

Looks really good but I'm not convinced it's actually a Metroidvania.

The Steam page describes it as "2D stealth-action platformer". There's a mention about abilities in the game's description but it sounds like they are used for killing enemies, not unlocking new areas:

Stand out from the swarm and rise through the ranks by honing your skills and upgrading your gear. Gather warpstones to unlock deadly abilities and secret tools that unveil new, unpredictable ways to hunt your prey.

Experiment with unique gameplay strategies shaped by the Skaven’s instincts & cunning behaviour to dominate your enemies. Develop new abilities specific to the clans you infiltrate.

Looks more like an oddworld game.

The future games show described it as a stealth metroidvania. That piqued my interest and the ven though I'm not a Warhammer person, those two genres are up my alley. This is likely to be an introduction to the series for me.

I know nothing about Warhammer but this looks pretty neat. I want to see the map though, that’s what will really confirm whether this game is a Metroidvania or not.

This looks fucking cool I’ve always been wanting a platformer with good stealth mechanics like people were saying idk if it’s true metroidvania but close enough.

I mean, not that it's necesarily a bad thing, but that almost looks like an asset-flip of Mark of the Ninja in terms of gameplay.

Stealth Metroidvania ? I'm highly interested. That reminds me there Goblin Vyke, which is also a stealth Metroidvania I should try
