‘Dread Delusion’ Comes to Consoles This Spring [Trailer]
DreadXP and developer Lovely Hellplace’s surreal dark fantasy RPG Dread Delusion will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles later this spring. Originally released to Steam back in 2024, the console version of Dread Delusion will include all the updates added to the Steam version throughout Early Access, bringing features like Hard Mode, airship customization, and the Creature Island content.
Dread Delusion is an open-world RPG with a retro 3D aesthetic and gameplay inspired by classic RPGs of the 2000s like The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. The world is broken. Its surface seethes with an undead curse, while humanity clings to flying continents in the sky. From mushroom forests to undead mausoleums, strange places and people await you. But will you find a way to heal this world – or seek power and profit for yourself?
You’ll uncover a rich, interactive narrative through the game’s quests, or pick a direction and explore by yourself. Carve your own path. Towns offer a needed respite for a weary traveller to sleep through the night, trade goods, accept quests and speak with the locals. A keen mind or charming wit can prove just as useful as a sword; and your decisions will shape how the story unfolds.
