    Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, known as Monster Boy: Norowareta Oukoku (モンスターボーイ 呪われた王国) in Japan, is an action game developed by Game Atelier and published by FDG Entertainment. It is part of the Monster World series, albeit it does not carry the name Wonder Boy due to trademark issues with Sega. Despite this, the game managed to be canon into the franchise.

    Arc System Works manages the full distribution of the game in Japan and Southeast Asia for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 systems, while also managing the distribution of the game in physical media on Japan for the Nintendo Switch.

    History

    Development
