Maid of Sker News

The wait is over Sker Islanders, Sker Ritual's Episode Three: Sewers of the Dead is OUT NOW! Descend into the Sewers of the Dead, the Sker Island underground lair and home of The Stranger!

[h3]EXPLORE THE BRAND-NEW MAP [/h3]

Delve into the Sewers of the Dead, the Sker Island underground lair and home of The Stranger. Navigate through tunnels of infestation where the Quiet Ones are not your only enemy. Watch where you step as The Stranger's swarm of rats are under the control of his glaring eyes.



[h3] FACE CHALLENGING NEW ENEMIES [/h3]

GUTO (Elite Enemy #1)

Run, run as fast as you can because in a flash the Guto will be upon you. These agile elites dash at alarming speed and in unpredictable directions, making every twist and turn through the dank underground a possible threat.



DEMON HAG (Elite Enemy #2)

Now she’s here...now she’s not...beware the teleporting Demon Hag and her searing laser beams that shoot out from her gruesome, green eyes. Rising from the dirt and murk, this elite is a deadly combination of the Witch and the Mariner.



[h3]NEW OBJECTIVES [/h3]

Unlock areas of the map with the help of a mind-controlled Quiet One. Escort the lumbering enemy turned ally safely and be sure to keep feeding it points if you want it to walk faster. Plus, send Quiet Ones into a spin! Set in the gory, gorged-out chests of Quiet Ones, shoot the rat in the hamster wheel to get them going.



[h3]NEW WEAPONS [/h3]

THE PLAGUE - Special Weapon



The Plague, Sker Ritual’s answer to Pest Control. Discharge bombs with this multi-grenade launcher that releases plumes of purple gas. Damage enemies and objects alike to progress your objectives.

Load up! This crossbow shoots a fan of 3 arrows and will slaughter through 3 enemies in turn. The crossbow will also be available in all levels.

PIONEER’S AXE

[h3]BEAT THE NEW BOSS [/h3]

Find yourself transported into the warped mind of The Stranger. Avoid the sight of his relentless scanning eyes, but don’t get caught or be prepared to face swarms of rodents whilst still combatting waves of Quiet Ones.

Everyone's favourite villain has had a cute and cuddly makeover all thanks to Makeship! Complete with bowler hat and pocket watch, this plush is literally made of scare and guilty of a murder or two at Sker Hotel. Speak to the manager of the sker-iest hotel around and pray that you live long enough to check out.



Abraham is featured in Maid of Sker, the critically-acclaimed award-winning British horror and the new co-op horror FPS, Sker Ritual, both from Wales Interactive.

Make Abraham a squishy reality by heading to our Makeship campaign . Order yours now and if funded, this one of a kind plush will always be on hand to give you a SKER.

Calling all inhabitants of Sker Island! The gates to the Sker Ritual Early Access are open for all who dare enter on October 6th. This brand new game is a round-based co-op survival FPS and spiritual successor to, Maid of Sker. Play solo or up to 4 players to survive the supernatural onslaught of the Quiet Ones.



Face hordes of new and familiar enemies, supercharged elites with unique supernatural powers, upgradeable steam-punk weapons, interchangeable spine-chilling masks and mysterious story objectives from writing talent behind Maid of Sker, Battlefield 1 and Total War: Rome II.

Designed for playing solo, or up-to 4-players online. Short of a teammate? No worries, the intensity of Sker Island’s hordes scale to the number of players. You could always find-a-friend over on the official Sker Ritual Discord.



The Quiet Ones have returned and they are not alone. Sker Island has recruited new elites, each with a unique set of abilities that will force you to change-up your playstyle, change your location, or enlist the help of your teammates! Old enemies aren't the only ones to curse the lands of Sker, we have many more new faces — even some without faces — that want to destroy you.

Plus, check out our roadmap for the beta development which we intend to complete by April 2023.



An Episode will be a new map update with the added bonus of some Sker story (with some voice acting) that follows on from the events of Maid of Sker. There's been some confusion in the community about whether the game will feature a separate Story Mode and to answer that, it will not. Sker Ritual is a round-based co-op FPS and is not a replacement for a [hypothetical] Maid of Sker 2.

Each Episode will add tons of new content including new maps, Elites, Bosses, objectives, trials, easter eggs and weapons. Plus you'll get major gameplay updates on the Miracles system, an in-game communication system and so much more.
