Monster Train News

You’ve theorized, you’ve speculated, and now it’s time for you to properly Meet The Champions of the upcoming Monster Train 2 clans! After all this time of waiting and only seeing their logos in the demo, it’s time we reveal the biggest mystery of all: WHO ARE OUR NEW HEROES? I’m sure you’re shaking with anticipation, and we’ve got a news trailer that aims to put that trembling to rest! (Although, if shaking still persists, you may want to see a doctor)

You’re all probably familiar with the clans in the demo. The fallen Banished, a clan composed of angels and hymnists alike, focusing on stacking valor and heavy equipment. The fierce Pyreborne, as ruthless as they are greedy, with their pyregel and hoards of goodies. This trailer gives you a look into the three clans that have proved more elusive. Perhaps you’ve mused over the mystical Luna Coven, using the power of the moon and their mighty witchcraft to take down any corrupted foe. Or, you could embody an endless cycle of decay, growth, and (most importantly) mushrooms with the power of the Underlegion. If neither of those caught your eye, then consider the mad scientists of the Lazarus League, brewing concoctions both vile and beneficial to take on Heaven’s legions.

Even though you’re only getting a small taste of the clan’s champions in this trailer, fear not! In the coming weeks, each clan’s going to get their own Deep Dive Blog here on Steam, so keep an eye out for all the new ways to bring Seraph to his knees! Until then, make sure to wishlist Monster Train 2!

Hi friends. It’s April Fools' day.

If you’ve spent enough time on the internet, you already know what today is about. It’s about goofs. It’s about tricks. It’s about “pulling a fast one”. April Fools' Day in the video game world is a particularly special time for video game studios like us. With the right April Fools’ Day announcement, your game can land at the top of the gaming news sites and subreddits. So we’ve studied the history of the holiday, run the simulations and crunched the numbers, and found that these days there are two key paths to April Fools' Day success:

A) Put out an announcement so “too good to be true” that eventually we have to follow through on it.

or,

B) Release a shallow dating sim/visual novel with a comedy twist, doing a disservice to the entire dating sim genre.

For this April Fool’s Day, the choice was crystal clear: The world isn’t ready for the Monster Train dating sim “You Stole My Pyre Heart!”*. We’re going to go with option A.



No kidding. This is not a drill. Monster Train 2 will be in your hands in less than two months. If you haven’t already, please enjoy the trailer above, wishlist the game, and get ready for five all-new clans, dozens of new cards, and surprises of all shapes and sizes. As we ramp up towards launch, we’ll be back at a regular cadence giving you deep dives into Monster Train 2’s new content, from clan deep-dives to new game mode reveals and more.

All aboard.

*This does not exist, please do not ask for it. We’re giving you Monster Train 2. Please.

Demon's Mirror is a deckbuilding roguelike with a tile-chaining twist. Whether you're playing cards or comboing gems, Demon's Mirror very well could be your next favorite roguelike. And did I mention that critics love it?

To celebrate launch, we're offering a special Demon's Mirror + Monster Train bundle available now for a limited time! This is a great way to snag your own copy of Demon's Mirror if you're already an owner of Monster Train, as well as a wonderful excuse to introduce both Demon's Mirror AND Monster Train to your friend, romantic partner, or uncle who occasionally asks "You like those video games, right?"

Check out the bundle for yourself by visiting the link below, and if you decide to pick it up for your uncle, let us know what he thinks about it. He's been hinting at wanting a copy of Demon's Mirror ever since he saw it at PAX.
