Taking to the skies is always a memorable moment in videogames, AER Memories of Old hopes to take this mechanic to new heights when it launches on August 8th for the price of £17.99 on the Switch eShop.

The folks over at Daedalic Entertainment are keen to bring us this title after launching it on other platforms a mere two years ago.

Check below for the details and a trailer...

The gods of old are forgotten, lost in the events that shattered the world, leaving only fragments of islands in the sky. This mystic world of endless skies, colorful islands and ancient ruins is in danger of falling into darkness. As one of the last few shapeshifters, you are sent on a pilgrimage to the Land of Gods. Uncover the secrets that will help save reality itself.

• Fly and explore by transforming into a bird at will
• A large open world of hidden secrets and new discoveries
• A pilgrimage of mysteries, puzzles and temples
