The Invincible developer Starward Industries has announced Dante’s Ring, a new anti-combat action RPG with disaster themes.
Dante’s Ring is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), with an early access release set for sometime in 2025.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
Dante’s Ring is an action-adventure RPG with survival and arcade elements, and a disaster combat theme, where you confront the deadliest forces of nature — from raging fires and molten lava to powerful earthquakes.
WHO WILL YOU BE?
You take on the role of one of the bold explorers investigating what appears to be an extinct volcanic range. Strive to survive and save as many lives as possible while facing the force of nature, the aftermath of a natural disaster, deep-seated human beliefs, social conflicts, and your own inner demons. Will you uncover the mysteries hidden beneath the Ring of Fire?
WHAT AWAITS YOU?
The game focuses on rescue and survival, using retro equipment in a race against nature’s wrath among mystical beliefs.
Will you fight a frenetic fire or flee from a pyroclastic flow? Break the door to rescue someone or stop and give first aid? Once the volcano’s hot breath reaches you, every second counts.
Dante’s Ring offers a fresh approach to gameplay, focusing on disaster combat and immersing you in a mesmerizing, eerie world where you pass through the gates of hell to save just one more life from its grasp.
