'Blightbound' Gets Release Date, Also Comes To PS4 And Xbox One, Includes Crossplay - Trailer

Blightbound is a co-op side-scrolling dungeon crawler that invites the finest three-hero parties in the land to clear scores of dungeons stuffed with formidable beasts and alluring treasure.

The world lies in peril. Decades ago, a band of legendary warriors slayed the dreaded Shadow Titan after a long and ferocious struggle, but their celebration was short-lived. The Shadow Titan’s true intentions revealed themselves when from his broken husk flowed the Blight; a corrupting fog that alters any living creature exposed to its evil.

Blightbound is an online & local multiplayer dungeon crawler that tasks three heroes to venture down from their mountain refuge to face the abominations of the Blight - a mysterious and corrupting fog that enshrouds the land.

Crossplay between PC, PS4, and Xbox One will be a feature at launch. So grab your friends on other platforms, and slay monsters, collect loot, and run dungeons together! This is something we have been working incredibly hard on behind the scenes, and we’re super happy to be able to finally share this with you!

Explore handcrafted dungeons, fight a terrifying cadre of mystical and monstrous enemies, grab valuable loot, and recover fallen heroes to expand your roster of available warriors. Each player will fulfill a specific role on the team - warrior, assassin, or mage - to overcome colossal bosses and solve clever puzzles.

Can you collect and complete all the challenges, and conquer the Blight once and for all?

Fearless developer Ronimo Games and their trusty sidekicks Devolver Digital have decreed that Blightbound will battle its way out of Steam Early Access on July 27, bringing its eldritch horrors to PC, PS4 and Xbox One. 

Key Features:

  • Explore an ever-expanding game with dozens of dungeons to explore, new heroes to recover and use and new loot to retrieve.
  • Collect over 20 unique heroes, each with their own unique skill set, passive abilities and fully narrated story to complete.
  • Hundreds of unique items to loot and craft to improve each hero and alter their repertoire of attacks and abilities. 
  • Build out your refuge atop the mountain by recruiting new artisans to craft more items, fulfilling bounties and training your heroes.
  • Battle through three distinct lands, each with several dungeons to conquer, including the eerie Gravemark, the oppressive Underhold and the precarious Blood Ridge.
  • Distinct class roles that reward team play and powerful ultimate abilities that charge by fulfilling your role. Block damage as a warrior, interrupt enemies as an assassin or heal your allies as a mage.
  • A stunning mix of hand-painted characters and real time 3D models and lighting effects

Blightbound is coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC (Steam) on July 27, 2021.
