From Press Release:
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK March 13th, 2025 – Ghost Ship Publishing – the team behind last year’s breakout hit Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor – and Guidelight Games are excited to announce that its dice-wielding roguelike deckbuilder, SpellRogue, will be leaving Early Access and launching into 1.0 on April 24th.
After one year of Early Access, the 1.0 launch will introduce SpellRogue’s epic story conclusion with the Final Chapter bringing about the game’s True Ending, alongside a brand-new playable wizard, Sefyra the Windcaller.
Currently in Early Access, SpellRogue is a roguelike deckbuilder that pits players against a deadly force known as the Voidbringers, who have consumed the world with their dark magic, corrupting its once-peaceful landscape into a menagerie of horrifying monsters. Players venture through mystical woods and scorching hot deserts, fighting these foes with powerful spells charged by Mana Dice, bending the fate of the world.
Duplicate, flip, and enchant spell cards to manipulate the luck of each roll and wield potent magical combinations. Cast over 350 spells, create the perfect deck, experiment with upgrades, and gather a selection from over 145 artifacts to help turn the tide of battle. Even the most hardened wizards will need to adapt and strategise to emerge victorious through deep tactical combat in each run.
At its 1.0 launch, players will be able to set forth each run as one of four unique elemental wizards – water, fire, earth, and the new addition for SpellRogue’s full launch, air. Sefyra the Windcaller is a commander of the skies who uses the element of air to split and swirl Mana Dice to create erratic magic.
New and returning spell casters will finally be able to experience the Final Chapter in SpellRogue’s 1.0 launch, with the True Ending awaiting those who are able to track the source of the arcane blight and stop darkness from overthrowing the land. Alongside the new story content, the full launch also sees the arrival of Daily Challenges, leaderboards, enemy overhauls, quality-of-life improvements, and much more joining over a year’s worth of Early Access updates and content.
“We’re so excited to announce SpellRogue’s full launch will arrive next month, ending the Early Access chapter of our journey and beginning an all new adventure in 1.0,” said Tim Løye Skafte, Co-Founder of Guidelight Games. “Since even before the Early Access launch, we’ve had feedback from an incredible community of players, who have truly helped shape the game into what it is today. We are so grateful to everyone who’s helped us battle the Voidbringers so far, and we can’t wait for 1.0 to welcome a new wave of dice-slingers into the world of SpellRogue.”
SpellRogue will launch into 1.0 on Steam on April 24th, 2025.
The game is available right now in Early Access, priced at €19.99 / $20.99 / £15.99. For more information, join the SpellRogue Discord, or visit the SpellRogue website.
