After the success of Monstrum, in 2018 we started developing an asymmetric, multiplayer sequel that would put you and up to four other players in a life or death race for survival on the procedurally-generated sea fortress: Sparrow Lock.
As of February 27th 2024, our multiplayer horror title Monstrum 2 is now free to download and play on Steam.
Why are we moving to free-to-play?
By making the game free and more accessible, it will be easier to bring your friends into your multiplayer sessions and face the horrors of Sparrow Lock with them.
Monstrum 2 launched as a premium game into early access in January 2021, with full release following in September 2022. Post-release, we implemented the highly requested Custom Game feature which gave players the ability to customise the game settings to their preferences (often bringing back the nostalgia of Monstrum’s one-hit permadeath).
The next update brought back the iconic location from the original Monstrum, the Hisa Maru, as a map in Monstrum 2. We knew that Monstrum 2 had a small community, but it was still important to us to deliver the best game we could for our core player base.
We were hopeful that these content updates would also help to bring more active players to make matchmaking easier, but this unfortunately did not happen, and the difficult decision was made to stop development on the game back in July 2023 in order to focus our efforts on new projects.
We hope that by making Monstrum 2 free to play for everyone on Steam, games will be easier to find and our current players will be able to spend more time on Sparrow Lock and actually playing the game.
What if I’ve already purchased the game?
We are extremely grateful to the community who have kept playing Monstrum 2, even when it has become difficult to find games. As a thank you, we will be issuing 2500 Monstrum credits to anyone who first logged into the game before 27 February 2024. These credits should allow you unlock a more prisoner and monster cosmetics from the in-game shop to bring a fresh look to your game!
If you purchased the game within the last two weeks and played for less than 2 hours, you’re welcome to refund it in line with Steam’s refund policy and play for free. We will not be able to offer any refunds outside of Steam’s refund policy.
Will you be making another Monstrum game?
Monstrum 2 was our first ever multiplayer game, and we learnt a lot from that development process. The same can be said for anyone when they practise skills beyond their known boundaries, and we still continue to learn every single day as we develop new projects.
We know a lot of you are keen for us to create another instalment to the Monstrum series, one that more closely resembles the original Monstrum.
We’ve released a blog post on our website giving you guys an insight into why we aren’t working on a new Monstrum game at this time.
