RocketBrush Studio’s debut title resurrects necromancy and brings rogue-lite action RPG The Unliving to Steam Early Access later this year.

Thursday, 26th August 2021 – Team17 and RocketBrush Studio have today revealed that dark fantasy action RPG The Unliving will be launching into Steam Early Access on 26th October. Combining rogue-lite and real-time strategy gameplay, The Unliving offers up a unique spin on the RPG genre and follows a powerful Necromancer out to wreak havoc across humanity’s domains by smiting enemies, before resurrecting and commanding them as a horde of sinister undead.

The undead are restless, in October they will be free:

Featuring procedurally generated worlds and endless runs that offer their own set of enemies, artifacts, and secrets, the Necromancer must learn from each failed attempt in order to succeed in defeating the opposing forces of humankind.
