17 SEPTEMBER 2024, AMSTERDAM – Publisher The Four Winds Entertainment announces the launch date of their latest indie gem. NeoDuel: Backpack Monsters, an exciting PvP auto-battler that combines strategic inventory management with monster taming, will officially launch on Steam on September 30th.

Developed by Turkish indie duo Rogue Duck & DiceHit Games, NeoDuel: Backpack Monsters offers gamers a unique take on auto-battling by introducing Cosmions — cosmic monsters that will need to be placed strategically in your backpack, evolved, and fused to create powerful, unique duel builds.

“NeoDuel: Backpack Monsters is our ode to the strategy and auto-battling genre. We wanted to create a game where players could experiment with builds, create unique combinations, and play on their own time. The Cosmions add a layer of depth, allowing for a plethora of possibilities in every duel."
​- Bahadır, lead developer at DiceHit Games.

The announcement comes with a brand-new trailer giving players a sneak peek at the Cosmions in action and showcasing the heart of what makes NeoDuel a unique and engaging experience.
