Morbid Metal is a 3rd person, sci-fi, action roguelite, where you can shapeshift into unique characters to slaughter enemies with powerful combos.

Morbid Metal is an action packed rogue-lite, in which players can shapeshift between 4 different characters in real-time, all with unique active abilities and stylish attacks. Rapidly switch characters and combine abilities to slaughter enemies in stylish fashion.

Progress through stunning, semi-procedurally generated levels, fighting through hordes of enemies and powerful bosses in various environmental biomes, ranging from desolate wastelands of the far future, to the overgrown ruins of mankind.

Upgrade your characters and progressively grow stronger to annihilate your enemies. But beware: death is closer than you think, and if he gets you, you start all over again.

In Morbid Metal, you can expect high octane, fast paced action, with dozens of stylish moves to wreak havoc upon your enemies. With a single press of a button, rapidly shapeshift into deadly characters, each with their own unique move sets, active abilities and of course a signature special skill. Use attacks and active abilities of multiple characters to unleash powerful combos upon hordes of deadly machines and fight your way through beautiful and challenging levels.

Pick your team of up to 4 characters and jump right into the action! With each enemy slaughtered, each level cleared, become stronger by unlocking impactful upgrades and engaging new ways to battle. But if you die, it’s all gone.

Permanently unlock and upgrade characters to grow more powerful each time you fight your way through the semi-procedurally generated levels of a far future to ultimately uncover the mystery of this deadly new world.


Ubisoft will be publishing Morbid Metal from independent developer Screen Juice. Starting in 2017, Felix Schade spent years developing the game solo before founding Screen Juice in 2023. A pivotal moment in the journey came when Schade shared early gameplay footage online seeking feedback. The gaming community quickly embraced it, sparking momentum that helped shape the game's evolution. Since then, Schade has expanded the company while continuing to lead as game director.

Ubisoft and Screen Juice announced that Morbid Metal will release on Steam in early access this summer.

"If it wasn't for the initial response from the gaming community, I probably would have quit developing Morbid Metal," said Schade, founder and game director at Screen Juice. "This game has come a long way and I'm excited to launch in early access this summer to get more feedback from the community that rallied behind this project and helped re-ignite my passion."

"Felix's unique vision and collaboration with the community drew us in right away," said Anne Blondel Jouin, VP, Open Innovation Accelerator at Ubisoft. We're excited to bring this game to worldwide audiences this summer on PC."
