Sker Ritual has four unique locations to explore, with countless secrets to discover, optional objectives, and easter eggs which progress the story from Maid of Sker’s evil ending. Sker Ritual will also feature cross-play between Xbox and PC players.

“We are super excited to bring Sker Ritual to players on console and PC.” said Dr. David Banner MBE - CEO & Co-Founder at Wales Interactive. “Over the past two years, our core team of five has been working non-stop to implement community feedback from the PC Early Access, ensuring the 1.0/console launch is the complete package. We cannot wait to see the community response to Sker Ritual. Good luck out there, The Quiet Ones are waiting for you.”

Sker Ritual system requirements

What are the Sker Ritual system requirements? In a game proudly inspired by Left 4 Dead and CoD Zombies, Sker Ritual will take a fresh stab at round-based FPS gameplay. While this game modernizes the traditional 'see zombie, shoot zombie' gameplay loop, its system requirements currently read very low, despite the game packing quite the graphical punch.


You won't need the best graphics card to run Sker Ritual, even when its supernatural enemies flood the spooky environments. We spent some time trying the game out at the Insomnia Game Festival and came away impressed by how smooth it runs for a game that is still in early access.
