Kingdom of Night is a new pixel art title from developer Friends of Safety and publisher Dangen Entertainment due for release on PC on December 2nd, 2025. It will be available on Steam, GOG, Humble Store, and itch.io, priced at $19.99. A new trailer to accompany the news of the release date gives action horror fans a further glimpse as to what can be expected in Kingdom of Night. The game is an 80s-inspired action RPG featuring never-before-seen gameplay, story, and theme by legendary composer Vince DiCola.
Set in an alternate 1987 in the quiet desert town of Miami, Arizona, Kingdom of Night follows John, a teenager who wakes to find his neighbor kidnapped by a satanic cult that has inadvertently unleashed the ancient evil Baphomet upon his hometown, turning it into a hellish invasion. What begins as a desperate rescue mission quickly escalates into a cosmic battle for survival, as John must fight nightmarish demons, corrupted townsfolk, and high school bullies transformed into monstrous creatures.
Key Features
Save Miami | Take down the town’s demons as you get closer to unraveling Baphomet’s grip on Miami. Explore the entire map of the town, interact with a wide cast of NPCs, and take on the Demon Generals in the order that you wish.
Choose Your Class | Choose from 5 different classes: Barbarian, Knight, Rogue, Necromancer, and Sorcerer. Each class excels differently, providing a unique play style depending on your choice. The class you choose decides your base style, while the skill trees allow for further customization.
Shape Your Character | Skill trees are split into three branches, containing 10 different talents each. As you level up, spend allotted points into any of the three branches of your class. Once you have reached level 10 in your first branch, you are free to cross over into another branch, allowing you to customize your play style fully.
Hoard the Best Gear | Outfit yourself with new equipment via quest rewards, hidden items throughout the town, and scoring random drops from a multi-tiered loot system with variable drop rates. Items range from common to completely unique. The items you collect provide an extra dimension to character stat development and have special abilities that will make you even more powerful.
Co-op With Your Friends | You don’t have to face the forces of darkness by yourself. In Kingdom of Night, either play through the campaign as John alone or with a friend in local co-op. Team up and synergize different character classes, becoming a torrent of annihilation that the underworld will fear.
