Play Morbid Metal in Early Access on April 8
Morbid Metal started as a dream. Solo developer Felix Schade made the first playable prototype in 2017 as part of his university project, and it quickly went viral, catching the interest of many in the roguelite gaming community – including developers at Ubisoft. In the intervening years, Schade kept working Morbid Metal, founded the studio Screen Juice, and forged a partnership with Ubisoft to publish the game. Now, on April 8, Morbid Metal invites Steam players to participate in its early access.
Morbid Metal is a hack-and-slash action roguelite where you play as the last AI, created by the mysterious Operator and trapped in a post-apocalyptic simulation. Each run will bring you closer to transcendence while revealing hints of humanity’s downfall. Every time you die, you’ll need to start from the beginning, giving you the chance to refine your strategy and upgrade your skill tree in an infinitely replayable loop. Mid-run upgrades and challenges can help give you a boost along the way, and help ensure no two runs look the same.
The early access experience offers over 10 hours of content, is Steam Deck compatible, has Xbox and PlayStation controller support, and gives you a deeper look into the exciting world and gameplay of Morbid Metal. There’s already a robust roadmap in place to update the game with new content and game improvements, with flexibility built in to take player feedback into account. Schade and the developers at Screen Juice want to shape Morbid Metal alongside players, and suggestions, experiences, and ideas you have after launch will directly impact the game direction. Everyone who plays Morbid Metal in early access will receive all future updates for free, including the final version.
In Morbid Metal,
