New 2026 Metroidvania Game on Steam is Metroid Prime Meets Hollow Knight

For as long as the Metroidvania genre has tried to evolve beyond its roots, the jump from 2D to 3D has always had its ups and downs. Generally, 3D Metroidvania games explore one of two extremes: either they venture too far into action-adventure territory or they lose the “tightness” of the progression loops that define the genre in the first place. But that’s what makes Maseylia: Echoes of the Past, a 3D Metroidvania by Sol Brothers, immediately stand out. Built around a fully interconnected world, ability-driven exploration, and movement-focused traversal, it looks like one of the few projects actively trying to translate the core identity of a Metroidvania into a true 3D space rather than just borrowing its ideas.
