'Perish' Release Date Set For February 2023 - Trailer

by Rainier on Dec. 6, 2022 @ 3:29 p.m. PST

Perish is a grisly & blood-soaked 4-player co-op roguelike first-person shooter with endless battles in order to ascend to the heavens.

“Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.”

- Caesar, Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar

Carve a gold-soaked path into the underworld up to Elysium and defeat the denizens of the realms of hell with cold steel. Spew molten golden bolts from the rotating barrels of your otherwordly pieces of handheld artillery. Gather the golden Danake and satisfy the demands of the Priests of Purgatory to earn your redemption!

Face eternal doom and slay hordes of demonic creatures on the black sands of Purgatory and sell their gold-stained corpses to exsiccated priests in exchange for increasingly powerful melee and firearms. Overwhelm abominable bosses and use the spoils of war to gain entrance to Elysium, a place reserved for mortals related to the gods and heroes. Gold and Death are waiting.

The revenant creatures at the gates of hell are consumed by the same lust for gold that motivates your own craving. Succumb to these dark souls and lose all of your precious wealth. Start over! Death is Sisyphean!

Muster up to three friends and reap the tides of hellish hordes together. Deploy co-op-specific gear and gadgetry to support, defend and revive each other on the perilous path towards eternal oblivion.

All this is accompanied by an appropriately brutal Death-Metal soundtrack explicitly written for this game by the devs themselves!

“Combining classical mythology and FPS, with multiplayer and roguelike elements forced us to push a lot of boundaries during Perish development," said Regan Ware, Co-Founder, ITEM42. "While we are saddened it will no longer be released on Google Stadia, players will be able to access our game from an amazing store lineup including Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG."

Key Features:

  • 1-4 player online co-op campaign sprawling across dilapidated temples, volcanic foundries, and ancient shipwrecks
  • A series of magnificent boss fights against rare and unheard-of colossal deities 
  • More than ten handcrafted and ornate weapons, from javelins and swords to bows and guns, each with their own unique and upgradeable offensive capabilities
  • Gratuitous, brutal, gold-soaked ranged and melee combat against enemies with distinctive battle behaviors
  • Morbid gladiators: enemies in PERISH are unforgiving, and as you travel further through Purgatory, you will meet a slew of enemies inspired by Ancient Greek, Roman, and Christian mythologies
  • Breathtaking visuals with Ray Tracing support for Nvidia RTX series graphics cards
  • Supports both DLSS 2 and DLSS 3 and Reflex for Nvidia graphics cards and AMD FSR on all GPUs

Perish is coming to PC (Steam/Epic Games Store/GOG) on February 2, 2023.
