'Kingdom Of Night' Resurfaces After Two Years With New Gameplay - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 1, 2024 @ 2:53 p.m. PDT

Set in small-town USA, Kingdom Of Night is an 80’s themed isometric, story-driven, action RPG with an expansive, interconnected map and open-ended quest system.

Kingdom of Night follows the story of young John, who is awoken one night by the kidnapping of his neighbor Ophelia, and sets out into the town at night to fight back against a demonic invasion and rescue Ophelia before it's too late. The aesthetic of the game is an ode to 80’s action, horror and fantasy, and has been labeled, “Diablo meets Earthbound.”

Battle nightmarish creatures, customize your abilities, and collect unique items and equipment. In order to beat the game, you’ll have to infiltrate the massive lairs of the five demon lords, and take on the apocalyptic boss battles at their centers.

Kingdom of Night is a game about coming of age, cosmic horror, and true love. The player takes control of John as his adventure's lead him through an hour by hour experience of what may be everyone's last night on Earth. He will encounter unearthly evils, Demon lords, afflicted townsfolk, and high school bullies... All nested in a larger than life fantasy that brings ultimate evil to a neighborhood near you.


DANGEN Entertainment and Black Seven Studios have released the latest gameplay trailer for Kingdom of Night, marking the first new trailer in over two years.

In this new trailer, viewers can experience the intensity of Kingdom of Night’s gameplay, with action-packed battles that demand strategy, skill, and mastery of various classes and abilities. Choose from three main classes and nine subclasses, each with distinct styles and skills that allow full customization to shape John’s journey against the demonic forces.

Watch the new gameplay trailer and stay tuned for news regarding its release date.


Kingdom of Night Local Co-op achievement allows two friends to sit down and play the game at the same time. John is joined by his neighbor and friend from school, Timothy, and each player is able to choose their own class, level up, and collect their own loot. Players will share quest notes and screen space. The camera will follow and move forward with Player One. Two-player save files are permanent; there is no continuing the game when your partner is away. Local co-op also increases the difficulty and number of enemies, with bosses more difficult, requiring teamwork to defeat.

Iconic music composer Vince DiCola, best known for composing the movie soundtracks to Rocky IV and The Transformers: The Movie, will compose a theme for a vital part of the game

Key Features:

  • Save Miami - Take down the town’s demons as you get closer to gaining access to Baphomet's fortress, Leviathan. Explore the entire map of Miami, interact with a wide cast of NPCs and take on the Demon Generals in the order that you wish.
  • Choose Your Class - Choose from 3 different classes and 9 subclasses. Each class excels differently, providing a unique play style depending on your choice. The class you choose decides your base style, while the skill trees allow for further customization.
  • Shape Your Character - Skill trees are split into three branches, containing 10 different talents each. As you level up, spend allotted points into any of the three branches of your class. Once you have reached level 10 in your first branch, you are free to cross over into another branch, allowing you to fully customize your play style.
  • Hoard the Best Gear - Get new equipment via quest rewards, hidden items throughout the town, and random drops with multi-tiered loot tables and variable drop rates. Items range from common to completely unique. The items you collect provide an extra dimension to character stat development and have special abilities that will make you even more powerful.
  • Co-op With Your Friends - You don’t have to face the forces of darkness by yourself. In Kingdom of Night, either play through the campaign alone, or with a friend in local co-op. Team up and synergize different character classes, becoming a torrent of annihilation that the underworld will fear.

Kingdom of Night is in development for PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One.
