Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our goal is to make a fun and challenging dungeon-diving experience for players. We are consistently gathering player feedback and building an experience that is fair and exciting. We aim to be transparent and communicative with the community and look forward to getting to 1.0!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly by Q4 2027, Plagueborn will remain in Early Access until we feel its the best version possible. We have a vision in mind for the 1.0 release of the game but this will change as we receive player feedback and community sentiment!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to greatly expand on this foundation, including:

- Additional weapon types and abilities to master
- More dungeon themes, enemy varieties, and unique bosses
- Expanded progression systems with new passives, relics, and character customization
- Deeper worldbuilding with new regions, lore, and NPC interactions
- Quality-of-life features and balancing informed directly by player feedback

Our goal is to take the polished, replayable core of Plagueborn and grow it into a richer, more expansive roguelike experience for full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Plagueborn already offers a complete and replayable core experience. Players can expect:

-1 dungeon featuring 4 challenging floors
-Around 350 lootable items to discover
-5 distinct weapon types and 20 unique abilities
-Over 50 unlockable passives to customize your build
-Epic boss fight capping off the dungeon
-A meta progression system that rewards long-term play
-Fully functional multiplayer co-op

This foundation captures the essence of Plagueborn’s roguelike loop while leaving plenty of room to expand with new content, systems, and polish as development continues.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We expect the price to increase slightly at the 1.0 release to reflect the added content and polish, this is also a way to reward early adopters during the Early Access period.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We love getting feedback and interacting with our community, any and all players are encouraged and welcome to join our discord community! Our Discord is a great place to meet other players and group up to play!”

About This Game

Descend Into a Dying World

The plague did not fade. It burrowed deeper.

Beneath shattered kingdoms and frost-scarred forests, something ancient is stirring again. Each descent into the dungeon reveals fractured ruins, forgotten prisons, and horrors twisted by corruption.

Every run is procedurally generated.
Every floor reshapes the battlefield.
Every choice pushes you closer to the source.

Fight. Adapt. Descend.

1–6 Player Co-Op Carnage

Survive alone — or bring allies.

Form a party of up to six players and carve through shifting dungeon floors filled with elite enemies, ambush encounters, and brutal bosses. Revive fallen allies, hold the frontline, or unleash devastation from the shadows.

The plague does not scale down its cruelty.
Neither should you.

Build Synergy That Evolves Each Run

After every floor, you choose how you evolve.

Gain powerful passives that modify abilities, trigger on-hit effects, empower allies, or transform your role entirely. Stack synergies. Break combinations. Discover unexpected interactions.

No two runs feel the same.
No two builds play the same.

Combat With Weight

Every strike lands with impact.

Block at the last second. Break enemy poise. Interrupt deadly casts. Chain abilities into devastating combos. Master positioning, stamina, and timing — because reckless aggression will get you killed.

Fast. Heavy. Intentional.

Weapons That Define Your Playstyle

Your weapon is your identity.

Wield sword and shield to dominate the frontline.
Strike from the shadows with daggers.
Unleash arcane destruction through staves.

Each weapon changes how you fight — abilities, pacing, and combat rhythm included.

A Dungeon That Fights Back

Three escalating floors.
Safe rooms to choose your fate.
A boss that will test everything you’ve built.

You are not a hero.
You are Plagueborn.
