Watch the Kingdom of Night Release Date Trailer:
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 turned monstrous. Over the course of a single, harrowing night, he must infiltrate the lairs of powerful demon generals and rally the strength to confront Baphomet’s looming fortress, discovering that the fate of his friends, and perhaps the entire world, hangs in the balance.
A demo for Kingdom of Night is currently available on Steam, offering a full vertical slice of the coming-of-age adventure.

About the game
Hunt down nightmarish demons and save the town of Miami, AZ in this 80s-themed, isometric action-RPG. Choose your class, customize your abilities, collect unique gear, and battle nightmarish creatures as you infiltrate the massive lairs of the demon lords that have taken over the town. With an expansive, interconnected map and open-ended quests, explore the town freely while unraveling the main story, blending coming-of-age drama, cosmic horror, and true love.
Take control of John as his adventure leads him through an hour-by-hour dilemma of what could be everyone's last night on Earth. As John, you will encounter unearthly evils, demon lords, afflicted townsfolk, high school bullies, and a torrent of engaging, serial-like side stories, all nested in a larger-than-life fantasy that brings the ultimate evil to a neighborhood near you.
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 fully customize your play style.
- 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.
