At its core, Celestial Return is built on contradiction. Netherveil is a city that gleams sleek and luminous, yet beneath its polished surface lingers a profound exhaustion. It is a world consumed by its own progress – humanity swallowed by its own design – where advancement has not erased decay, only refined its appearance.
Metaphor Games and Shoreline Games have today announced today that dice-based narrative RPG Celestial Return will launch on PC via Steam on May 7, 2026. Revealed as part of IGN Fan Fest, the new trailer showcases more of the choice-based and dice-driven gameplay that awaits players later this year.
Survival is optional in Celestial Return, a cyberpunk-noir, dice-based narrative RPG from storytelling veterans Metaphor Games, launching on PC via Steam in spring 2026 in partnership with publisher Shoreline Games.
Metaphor Games is thrilled to announce the Kickstarter for Celestial Return, a deep cyberpunk noir RPG where your choices shape the story, and its unique dice system makes every decision a risk. The campaign is now live and invites fans of video games, board games, and interactive storytelling to support the project on Kickstarter.
