Recruit expedition forces, navigate feudal politics, enlist allies across the city, and outsmart incomprehensible foes. Gameplay varies from card-based, turn-based strategy; to relationship building with key figures in a desperate city that evolves and crumbles in unique ways based on the player’s decisions.
As well as announcing the new launch date, today Box Dragon have also pushed an update live to the game’s demo on Steam, localising As We Descend into 11 new languages, inviting more players around the world to experience the demo in their native tongue. The new languages include: French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Ukrainian. As We Descend will be available in each of these languages, alongside English and Russian, when it launches into Early Access.
“We had originally planned to launch As We Descend today, but ultimately we decided that it needed a little more time in the oven to become the genre-shattering game we want to deliver to our players,” said Kevin Chang, Game Director at Box Dragon. “To that end, today we’re thrilled to announce the new launch date, alongside the demo localisations into 11 new languages, allowing more players to experience As We Descend in their own language. Now is the perfect time to try the game out if you haven’t already - we’ve got big plans, and the Early Access launch will be just the beginning!”
As We Descend will launch into early access on Steam on May 28th, 2025. Players can currently try out the game’s free demo also on Steam, which will shortly be available in the 12 new languages.
