TOKENS Announced: A Roguelike Deckbuilder Replaces Cards with Tokens!
During the 2026 Pégases ceremony, Atelier QBD announced its new game, TOKENS, a roguelike deckbuilder where players are immersed in a fantasy universe inspired by the prestigious clubs of the roaring twenties. The TOKENS demo is now available on Steam.
In this roguelike deckbuilder, players are immersed in a fantasy universe inspired by the prestigious clubs of the roaring twenties, including the mysterious Token Club, a secret circle reserved for exceptional artists and adventurers. Players take on the role of a determined aspirant seeking to prove their worth and gain entry into this coveted club. To succeed, they must demonstrate strategic skill by building a deck of Tokens enhanced with the powers of Arcanas (special abilities) and Effigies (items), and overcome the challenges orchestrated by the enigmatic dealer, Mister Mirage.
Each run offers a new configuration of challenges and opportunities. To advance to the next round, players must line up tokens on the table to beat the required score. Every three rounds, they will face a boss encounter that will test their skills and push them to adapt their strategy.
A Demo is Available Today on Steam!
The TOKENS demo is now available on Steam and will be releasing Q3 2026 in 10 languages, including French, English, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
On the occasion of this announcement, Quentin De Beukelaer, founder of Atelier QBD and developer of TOKENS, said: “After creating two narrative horror games, Narcosis and Decarnation, I wanted to place gameplay at the heart of the project. As a fan of roguelike deckbuilders I aim to bend the rules and use tokens instead of cards. It’s an ideal starting point to explore the concept of randomness and how players can manipulate it to carve their path within the Token Club.”
