In the abyss where the mortal realm and netherworld intertwine, become a warrior wielding the power of the Nether Lantern to fight along with the fallen souls. With hardcore, soulslike action and intriguing roguelike builds, shatter the cursed barriers and unveil the truth woven from blood and soul.

Control the survivor of a catastrophic disaster, wielding the Nether Lantern—a forbidden artifact bridging the mortal realm and the netherworld—to forge pacts with the souls of deceased allies. Venture into procedurally generated labyrinths to challenge corrupted heroes and demonic lords.

Set amidst a catastrophic disaster, wield the powerful Nether Lantern on a harrowing quest to reclaim lost souls and cleanse corrupt worlds. Battle hordes of demons by choosing when to parry and dodge rather than button-mashing. Harness the power of Soul Companions to gain an upper hand in any skirmish. Spread across Swordsman, Ranger, Guardian, and Rogue classes, master their abilities and outmaneuver foes in every combat encounter. 

Witness each battle culminate in ferocious boss battles against fallen lords, once-knoble knights, and demonic entities. Take a reprieve from battles and return to the borderland camp to replenish supplies, forge weapons, and piece together dark truths that plague the land. 

Netherworld Covenant faces new threats when it graduates from version 1.0 on Dec. 9, 2025, on PC via Steam. 

Experience the final two chapters and full ending, with six chapters in total. Enter the fray with five new playable characters, wielding the Axe, Staff, Bow, and Spear along with the previously available Sword. Tackle the new Boss Rush mode and Chaos Mode, featuring a shuffled map and randomized spawns, along with a variety of new skins, events, accessories, sub-weapons, and more than 50 quality-of-life improvements.

“Ever since Netherworld Covenant’s Early Access launch this summer, we’ve been expanding the world with more content,” said Feng Hu, Artist at MadGoat. “We can’t wait to welcome new warriors to the fight with the 1.0 launch, while welcoming returning players back to claim more souls.”

Key Features:

• The Beauty of Precision: Combat prioritizes tactical mastery over frenetic combos. Parry, dodge, and execute Ethereal Dash to evade attacks, then counter with lethal strikes. Every decision—timing, resource allocation, and positioning—deepens the strategic depth of encounters.
• Bound by Souls, Empowered by the Dead: The Soul Companion system offers diverse combat strategies, featuring four distinct spectral allies: Swordsman, Ranger, Guardian, and Rogue. Harness their abilities to phase through obstacles, ambush foes from the netherworld, or evade fatal blows by shifting dimensions.
• Corrupted Legends Await: Face bosses twisted by malevolent soul energy—fallen lords, once-noble knights, primordial demons, and entities lurking in the dimensional void.
• Sanctuary at the Edge of Realms: At the borderland camp between worlds, gather spectral allies, forge weapons tainted with demonic blood, stockpile resources, and piece together the truth behind calamity through fragmented dialogues. Will you redeem your comrades’ souls or remain stuck between life and death?
