Game Boy Advance Title 'Kien' Released After 22-Year Development Journey

Originally started in 2002 by a group of friends in Italy, 'Kien' faced numerous challenges before finally launching on its intended platform.

'Kien' is an action-platformer with RPG elements inspired by Castlevania and Chinese mythology.
The game was initially completed in 2004 but could not find a publisher due to high production costs and market skepticism.
Fabio Belsanti, the sole remaining developer, revived the project amid a resurgence in retro gaming interest.
The game is now available in both physical cartridge and digital formats, with positive early feedback from retro gaming fans.
'Kien' holds the record for the longest development time in video game history, surpassing 'Duke Nukem Forever.'
