So, what’s next?

The Early Access roadmap will be revealed during FIND YOUR NEXT GAME, April 17th
We have a structured plan for development well beyond launch, but we’ll take the first days after release to closely listen to your feedback and adjust priorities.

We know where we are going, but it’s not just about adding content, it’s about shaping Morbid Metal together by refining features, improving balance and progression, adjusting systems based on your real feedback.

We strongly encourage you to join us on Discord.
Thanks to a dedicated feature, feedback shared there isn’t just read. We are directly integrating it into our production pipeline.

[h2]Where We’re Coming From [/h2]
Last year’s demos and playtests gave us early feedback that immediately shaped the game, improving combat pacing, enemy behavior, difficulty balance, and overall feel.

Over the past few months, we stayed quiet to fully focus on delivering a strong Early Access launch, already shaped by your input, and make sure it’s an experience you’ll genuinely enjoy.

You’ve been waiting, and now the moment has finally arrived. The wait is officially over.

In the meantime, the best way you can support the game is simply playing our game, sharing your feedback with us, and maybe recommending it to your friends!

As always, we’re incredibly grateful for your support throughout this journey. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in the vision of Morbid Metal and for joining us at SCREEN JUICE on this wild ride toward delivering something truly special.

See you on April 8. 🖤⚔️

Honestly, I wasn’t fully sure what to expect from Morbid Metal, since I genuinely hadn’t heard or seen anything about it, which is surprising given it’s a Ubisoft-published game. Videos and screenshots initially led me to believe it would be a Devil May Cry-style Hack n’ Slash that prioritized intense challenge and encouraged flashy combat. And while it definitely shares that DNA, what is really on offer genuinely hooked me with its style and simplicity.
