When Skeletor uncovers the ancient Dragon Pearl of Destruction, a relic of unspeakable power, he joins forces with Evil-Lyn to plunge all of Eternia into eternal darkness. Now, it’s up to He-Man, Man-At-Arms and Teela to save the planet.

Players will be able to experience Eternia like never before, either solo or in two-player co-op. The game features massive, highly detailed pixel art sprites, and lush environments that look exactly like the original 1980s cartoon come to life.

Players can choose to play as He-Man, Man-At-Arms, Teela, and unlock She-Ra as a playable character for future playthroughs. Each hero features a unique playstyle, from He-Man’s raw power to Teela’s agile staff combat. Each hero will also have unique character abilities and epic, screen-clearing powers. For those wondering, yes, Battle-Cat is in the game too. Players can ride He-Man’s fearless feline companion to tear through Skeletor’s minions with tooth and claw.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction will take players all across the diverse stages of Eternia through 12 action-packed stages, from the Royal Palace and the Vine Jungle to the dark corridors of Snake Mountain.

Players will square off against iconic foes including Skeletor, Evil-Lyn, Beast Man, and Trap Jaw, along with appearances like the dark sorceress Shokoti and the Shadow Beasts.
