Klabater SA, in collaboration with Arcen Games, LLC, is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated release date of Starward Rogue on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. After a successful porting agreement, Starward Rogue is set to launch on January 25th, 2024, bringing the critically acclaimed sci-fi shoot-em-up bullet hell gem to a broader audience.
Starward Rogue, originally released on PC by Arcen Games, immerses players in an enthralling bullet hell twin-stick shooter experience as they navigate the Megalith, a rogue-lite labyrinth embedded in the side of a star. Players take on the role of a “head in a mech” harvested from the neck of a Space Hydra, armed with a diverse array of weapons, perks, and upgrades. The game has received acclaim for its challenging gameplay and has been favorably compared to titles like Binding of Isaac.
Along with the premiere, the DLC – Starward Rogue: AuGMENTED will be released, making the game “bigger, better, and coated with gold”. Newly added Gold Floors mysteriously appear throughout the runs. Inhabited by rare enemies, unique treasures await those who can overcome the challenges within.
