Ron Gilbert's Death by Scrolling will land on consoles on 16th of April
The chaotic climb out of the afterlife continues as Death By Scrolling arrives on consoles on April 16, launching simultaneously on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. The console release will coincide with a major update for the PC version, bringing new content and quality-of-life improvements across all platforms.
Set in the ever-shifting bureaucratic nightmare of Purgatory Inc., Death By Scrolling is an endlessly scrolling action roguelite where players must fight their way upward through monsters, hazards, and relentless pressure from the Reaper herself. The world never stops moving, the floor is always rising, and the only escape is to keep climbing.
Players choose from a cast of unique characters, each with their own abilities and playstyles, and attempt to survive the vertical chaos long enough to collect the gold needed to pay the Ferryman’s exorbitant crossing fee. Along the way, players will encounter bizarre enemies, strange vendors, unexpected side quests, and plenty of opportunities to improve their build mid-run.
The April 14 release also introduces a major content update available simultaneously on PC and consoles, featuring a new playable character, a brand new biome to explore, and multiple gameplay and quality-of-life improvements.
In Death By Scrolling, the screen never stops rising, enemies keep coming, and the Reaper is always just a few steps behind.
The only way out… is up.
