WRATH made it among top 100 indie games of 2019 at IndieDB and was nominated for "Indie of the Year" award!

If you enjoyed WRATH, please vote and support us!

Hello everyone,

It’s this time of the year when Steam once again organizes the annual Steam Awards where you can vote for your favorite games in multitude of categories.

A lot of great games came out this year (some which we spent more time than we probably should), that deserve your vote and attention but if you consider WRATH to be one of these, even after the brief time you have spent with it, please consider nominating it in some of the categories.

We know that the competition is very hard as there are a lot of great and recognizable titles however every bit of potential visibility helps to introduce the game to new people who may also pick up their double barreled shotgun, put on their blade and start blasting Quake-engine style!

Today we thought we’d be DOOMed - instead, the day of WRATH is upon us! The anticipated Quake-engine, first-person shooter is available in Early Access TODAY!

Once adrift upon the Ageless Sea, Outlander finds himself on the shores of a dying world. A radiant figure draped in white, the Shepherd of Wayward Souls, burdens Outlander with a harrowing task: journey into the sprawling gloom and slay the fallen Guardians who have plunged this world into darkness.



WRATH launches in Early Access with the first of three non-linear Hub worlds and two unlocked levels. Annihilate the horrors lurking within the ruins of the Old World with an arsenal of devastating weaponry and mystical artifacts.

Early Access will continue to receive content updates that add even more levels, enemies, weapons, artifacts and music by Quake Champions composer Andrew Hulshult.

Check out the full WRATH Early Access Roadmap below:



Last but not least, if you have any feedback for us, let us know on Steam and on our Discord (http://www.discord.gg/3drealms)!

Thank's for playing!

Also, WRATH: Aeon of Ruin is turning out quite fantastic - So we want to make the first “taste” even better than we originally hoped for.

It’s been delayed a short bit, but it will be worth the wait. We guarantee!

Meanwhile, behold: THE INVADER






Also, you'll be able to get HANDS ON playtime with WRATH at Gamescom 2019 later this month! Come drink WRATH Beer with us, behold the Lifesize Shotgun (It's bigger than your mom), and talk retro shooters!

3D Realms Co-owner, Vice President and Producer on WRATH, Frederik Schrieber, was recently on the Quakecast, talking about his history in gaming, 3D Realms, Slipgate and ofcourse WRATH.

Check it out if you're interested in all the nitty gritty details!

"Our guest this week is Fred Schreiber, Vice President and Executive Producer at 3D Realms as well as founder and Managing Director of Slipgate Studios. Fred's story in the games industry is a fascinating fairytale of sorts. Imagine a wide-eyed kid, obsessed with Duke Nukem 3D who decades later, ends up running the company. In this episode, hear the unfiltered story of how 3D Realms was saved from oblivion and how shooters Ion Maiden and the newly announced Wrath: Aeon of Ruin are much more than just passion projects for the small teams creating them."
