FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BARCELONA, Spain – Oct. 17, 2024 – RailGods of Hysterra, a cooperative base-building survival action game set in a twisted Lovecraftian dreamscape from developer Troglobytes Games and first-time publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment, will plunge into darkness on PC via Steam, and PlayStation 5.  
 
Enter a ruined world of ghoulish horrors wrought by the Great Old Ones: ancient cosmic beings beyond human comprehension that took over the world. Survive procedurally generated nightmarish environments, face the wrath of eldritch abominations, and forge a bond with the RailGod - a roaming fortress composed of steel and flesh forged through arcane and obscure rituals.
 
Climb aboard and craft additional custom train cars for storage, loot, and workbenches. Explore ever-changing hellscapes with axes, firearms, and spells, to battle otherworldly creatures and cultists, or take them prisoner to feed the hungry locomotive. Approach the RailGod’s beating heart to cure accumulated madness and unlock powerful GodKeeper skills.
 
Collect supplies to fashion tools and weapons. Install upgrades from the engine to the caboose while enhancing abilities to unlock perks and character builds. Fine-tune skill sets for distinct playstyles and eventually take on gargantuan foes from the frayed ends of sanity. Conquer cruel and unforgiving environments alone or with up to four friends via online co-op.
 
“We’re very excited to announce our first-ever collaborative project as a newly established publisher,” said Digital Vortex CEO and Co-Founder Alex Izotov. “RailGods of Hysterra will be one of many upcoming titles in our expanding catalog.”
 
RailGods of Hysterra is coming to early access on PC via Steam, and PlayStation 5, and will support English, French, German, Russian, Spanish - Spain, Portuguese - Brazil, Simplified Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, and Turkish languages. Wishlist on Steam and stay up to date by visiting the RailGods of Hysterra official site, follow on X/Twitter and Facebook.
