Ron Gilbert's Death by Scrolling Launches October 28
MicroProse and Terrible Toybox NZ are excited to announce that Death by Scrolling will officially launch on October 28, 2025 on Steam. Coming soon on Xbox, Playstation and Switch.
A fast-paced roguelite with an absurdly honest title, Death by Scrolling is all about fighting, dying, trying again, and - if you’re very, very lucky - not dying. Between enemy waves, power-ups, and questionable life choices, players will descend into a pixelated spiral of chaos backed by sharp writing, sardonic humor, and an action loop that refuses to let go.
New Trailer: To whet your appetite for repeated virtual doom, the team has released a brand-new trailer highlighting combat, narrative quirks, and the game’s irreverent sense of humor. Watch it here:
What Awaits the Brave (and Foolish):
Fast, funny, furious: An action roguelite that laughs at your pain - repeatedly.
A story for the few, the proud, the readers: Discover the meta-narrative hidden behind the chaos (or don’t, it’s fine).
Retro vibes, modern pace: Tight controls, crisp pixel art, and a killer soundtrack.
Infinite replayability: Because no matter how good you are, the game’s better.
