'Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption' (ALL) Gets Steam Date, New Content Details

Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption is an action-RPG where you take control of Adam, a deceased solider who must defeat loathsome bosses representing the seven deadly sins to escape a horrific afterlife.

Sinner follows Adam, a soldier with a dark past. Adam embarks on a journey for absolution, facing off against monstrous beasts to reconcile his heinous crimes. Based on the seven deadly sins, these savage specters will reveal their personal connections with Adam as he advances his quest for atonement to a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack.

Before each trial Adam must sacrifice a part of himself, resulting in a permanent debuff for the rest of his encounters. Each battle will be more difficult than the last as every debuff lowers Adam's health, depletes his resources or weakens his weapons and armor. Fortunately, an arsenal of unlockable equipment will help Adam compensate for his increasing weaknesses. Alternate gear can be unlocked in New Game+ mode, lending replayability to Adam’s journey for redemption.

If all hope is lost, revive a defeated enemy to regain a sacrificed attribute and revisit the battle later. Experiment to find the optimal path to redemption or take on all debuffs simultaneously from the start for a challenging and rewarding journey.

Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption incorporates additional game modes, a new boss and two more weapons when it brings the fight to Steam on Feb. 19, 2019.

Discord, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox versions will receive the new content in a free update at the same time.

New Game+ will add three new challenges for the ultimate tests of skill. The Trial of Speed will grant Adam swiftness in exchange for losing invulnerability during dodge rolls, Trial of Consequence will make death permanent and Trial of the Sinner will combine both modifiers for the most challenging experience yet.

The haunting action RPG’s arsenal of bosses will expand with the addition of Cowardly Modic, the fowl-est boss yet, a giant deadly armored chicken. Defeat the brutal bird to unlock two weapon sets based on other bosses’ kits, twin swords and a sword and shield combo, to complement Adam’s already powerful arsenal.

Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption challenges Adam to defeat specters from his past, each based on one of the seven deadly sins. Sacrifice Adam’s vitality, strength or another trait before battle, making each fight more treacherous than the last. The perilous journey through a macabre landscape culminates in a fearsome final boss which Adam must defeat to find atonement in one of multiple endings.

“Our most significant update yet is designed to give players more ways to challenge themselves,” says Iain Garner, director of developer relations, Another Indie. “PC Gamers who have been waiting for Sinner to arrive on Steam won’t be disappointed, as they will receive the most content-packed edition.”

What has Adam done to warrant putting himself through such a grueling trial? The action is framed by a desolate afterlife in which Adam seeks to restore his memories and atone for his sins. As he defeats each new boss, his history with these evil atrocities will be revealed. How he interacts with each boss will ultimately decide his fate in one of multiple endings.

Developed by Dark Star Game Studios, a team composed of AAA veterans including a former Ubisoft art director, a Blizzard technical artist, and a Konami senior programmer.

Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption is available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC in English, Spanish, German, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
