DreadXP announced last month that Lovely Hellplace’s dark fantasy RPG Dread Delusion would be coming to consoles this spring. That has now turned into a March 17 release for the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Xbox Series, as well as a brand new trailer complimenting the announcement.
Originally launching in full on Steam back in 2024 after a stay in Early Access, the console version of Dread Delusion will include all of the updates added to the Steam version throughout Early Access, which includes features like Hard Mode, airship customization, and the Creature Island content.
Drawing inspiration from late 90s and early 2000s RPG landmarks like King’s Field and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Dread Delusion brings hauntingly nostalgic visuals and sounds with deep player progression and rewarding exploration. 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.
