Guide Achtli, a cybernetically enhanced warrior, on a quest to save Tenochtitlan, her home and the crown of the Aztec Empire. In Aztech’s alternate history, European powers never arrived on the shores of ancient Mesoamerica. The Aztec Empire’s capital Tenochtitlan has thrived for centuries as a stone metropolis, technologically advanced yet heavily rooted in the ways of those indigenous to the land. Yet the gods of their past, like the feathered serpent deity Quetzalcoatl or Mictlantechutli, Lord of the Underworld, faded into distant memories. Until now.

Soon-to-be heroine Achtli joins her archeologist mother Nantsin on an unsanctioned dig. While searching for ancient knowledge that could help all of society, they inadvertently cause an explosion and awaken stone colossi hellbent on destroying the city. Achtli crawls out of the rubble to discover two new things: her prosthetic arm’s been replaced with a stone artifact, and there’s someone in her head named Tez claiming his own divinity.

Armed with Lightkeeper, a powerful prosthetic arm powered by a mysterious energy, Achtli must stand tall against fearsome foes. Harness Lightkeeper’s latent abilities to leap into action, delivering shattering blows to gods seeking to wipe out her beloved city. Use Lightkeeper to propel Achtli across Tenochtitlan, zooming past floating buildings, grinding brightly lit railings, and bringing her close to pummel colossi standing in her way before hammering them with rocket-powered strikes.

“Aztech Forgotten Gods is a celebration of our cultural heritage that combines action, heart, and more,” said Guillermo Vizcaino, Head of PR & Marketing and Lead Writer, Lienzo. “Bringing Tenochtitlan and Achtli’s story to life has been our studio’s most rewarding project and we cannot wait to share Aztech Forgotten Gods with the world on March 10, 2022!”

Join the unlikely duo on their quest to crush colossi and discover why the gods disappeared so long ago. Battle massive bosses while wielding Achtli’s new gauntlet as a makeshift jetpack and devastating weapon all in one. Soar through the sky, run on walls, grind on rails, and bring the pantheon to their knees with stone-crushing strikes. Upgrade the gauntlet with Nantsin’s help to earn new abilities from plasma-based projectiles to energy shields. 

Explore Tenochtitlan with Achtli’s incredible newfound agility and strength. Encounter optional side stories, unlock new outfits, and upgrade passive abilities by completing secondary challenges in the hub-world. Become the city’s savior with an adrenaline-fueled soundtrack that fuses metal with traditional Aztec instruments. Aztech Forgotten Gods’ emotional journey took inspiration from anime and superhero comics and has a vibrant, Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic to match. 

Aztech Forgotten Gods is coming to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store) on March 10, 2022.
