Ultros is a psychedelic metroidvania where you wake up stranded on The Sarcophagus — a cosmic uterus holding an ancient, demonic being.

You wake up stranded, after seemingly crashing your ship on The Sarcophagus — a giant, space-drifting, cosmic uterus holding an ancient demonic being known as Ultros.

Trapped in the eternal loop of a black hole, you will have to explore The Sarcophagus and meet its inhabitants to understand the part you play.

Are you the gruesome breaker of this cycle, or can you become a link from destruction to rebirth?

Today’s newly-released trailer introduces would-be adventurers and space gardeners to all-new gameplay showcasing new extractor-based mechanics that can be used to unlock new abilities to assist in exploring the stunning, multicolored world of Ultros. Within glimpses of new locations and scenery, fans are also introduced to mysterious new characters that will expand their world and reveal undiscovered depths to the giant, space-drifting, cosmic uterus of The Sarcophagus. 

Alongside the Standard Edition, fans can also pre-order the Deluxe Edition of Ultros via the  , Steam and the Epic Games Store, which comes complete with a Digital Artbook, showcasing the psychedelic world through never-before-seen imagery from the visionary El Huervo, and the Ultros Original Soundtrack, blending Peruvian instruments with classic orchestral themes, lovingly orchestrated by Oscar “Ratvader” Rydelius.

Fans can also now pre-order an exclusive physical Deluxe Edition of Ultros for PS5 from participating retailers made in partnership with Maximum Games, which also comes with three stunning art cards, plus a magnet of Ouji, the game’s protagonist alongside the items included in the digital Deluxe Edition.

Ultros is set in a multifaceted realm - a vast alien landscape teeming with life. Grounded in science fiction, Ultros comes wrapped in an eccentric art style and a mystical soundtrack from the visionary El Huervo, renowned for his work on Hotline Miami. Ultros explores meta-themes of mental health, life, death, and karmic cycles through deep lore and environmental storytelling.

Experience brutal, intimate, close-quarter combat with cosmic lifeforms, driven by a sense of urgency – where precision is paramount and every cut of your blade counts. Yet this intense combat is juxtaposed with cultivating the greenery and tending to plant life in The Sarcophagus, providing precious moments of contemplation and peace. In turn, this grants deeper access to obscured paths.

The rich world of Ultros holds many secrets for those curious enough — and fearless enough — to seek them out. A unique loop-based mechanic will allow you to start over at key moments in the story, providing opportunities to unfold such secrets, unlock different areas of the world and new abilities on a branching skill tree. Experiment with and master your own specific fighting style as you explore the world of Ultros. Each loop brings you closer to the truth...

Ultros is coming to PS4, PS5 and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store) on Feb. 13, 2024.
