Tesura Games is bringing a nostalgic action-platformer back into the spotlight with [Pampas & Selene – Collector’s Edition](https://amzn.to/3QPmRkZ), a physical release aimed squarely at fans of classic Metroidvania adventures. Launching for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch in Summer 2026, this edition packages the retro-inspired title with a range of extras that lean into its old-school charm.
A return to classic adventure
At its core, Pampas & Selene: The Maze of Demons draws heavily from the golden era of side-scrolling exploration games. The story follows Pampas and Selene, the children of legendary heroes who once saved their kingdom from a powerful evil. Decades later, a new threat rises. Undead forces flood the land, and the siblings must enter the ancient castle of Mogdoss to stop it.
The game blends traditional Metroidvania design with a cooperative twist. Players can explore interconnected areas, uncover hidden paths, and collect artefacts that unlock new abilities. Combat plays a central role, with hundreds of enemies standing between the heroes and their goal. There’s also a clear nod to mythological themes, as divine powers assist the protagonists throughout their journey.
What’s included in the Collector’s Edition
Tesura Games has put together a package that goes beyond the standard physical release. The Collector’s Edition includes:
• Physical copy of the game
• Retro reversible cover
• Printed instruction manual
• Mini Ghost (digital code)
• Acrylic standee featuring chibi versions of Pampas and Selene
• Original soundtrack on two CDs (original version and MSX-style version)
• A comic expanding on the game’s world
• Collector’s box to house everything
The inclusion of a reversible cover and instruction manual is a clear nod to retro gaming culture, while the soundtrack and comic add extra depth for fans who want more from the world and its characters.
Release date and pricing
Pampas & Selene – Collector’s Edition is scheduled for release in Summer 2026. In the UK, both versions are priced at £69.99 and available through Amazon:
• [PlayStation 5](https://amzn.to/3P66VdE) – £69.99
• [Nintendo Switch](https://amzn.to/48Cmi4c) – £69.99
A niche release with broad appeal
Collector’s editions like this tend to target a specific audience, but Pampas & Selene has a few things working in its favour. The Metroidvania genre remains popular, especially among players who enjoy exploration-driven gameplay. Add in cooperative elements and a retro aesthetic, and it becomes an easy recommendation for fans of classic-inspired titles.
The physical extras also make it more than just a game purchase. For collectors, the soundtrack CDs and display pieces give it shelf value, while the comic and manual add a bit of texture that digital releases often lack.
For anyone who grew up with side-scrolling adventures or wants a modern take on that formula, this Collector’s Edition is worth keeping an eye on.
