Press release:
The Austin-based (Texas, the US) indie games publisher Devolver Digital and Brisbane-based (Queensland, Australia) indie games developer Team WIBY, today announced with great excitement and delight that their massive asynchronous multiplayer game “Phantom Abyss” is coming to Xbox Series X/S via Game Pass on October 20th, 2022!

And the Xbox release will be loaded with a treasure trove of new content from its adventures through Steam Early Access.

– There Can Be Only One –

Beginning on October 20th, intrepid Xbox players will join the hunt for glory, dodging scores of hidden traps, leaping treacherous chasms, and fleeing relentless guardians through branching paths until one of the relics are claimed or the devices of death overwhelm them.

But be warned, only one adventurer can claim each temple’s prize, and every soul brave enough to try gets just one chance before it’s lost forever…

Asynchronous Multiplayer

Explore the perilous halls of each temple alongside the phantoms of fallen players. Use their successes and failures to your advantage to reach the precious artefacts that eluded them.

Three Modes of Play

Adventure mode Conquer temples to claim powerful relics and earn explorer reputation.
Classic mode A classic rogue-like experience. Delve into a large and progressively difficult temple.
Daily mode The same temple is available to all players for 24 hours. Unlike other modes, players can retry this temple as many times as they like.

Unique Tools

Unlock new whips to choose from before venturing into your next temple. Each whip carries a powerful blessing but also a curse that may complicate your attempt at riches and glory.

Phantom Abyss will continue to expand throughout Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview, with new chambers, traps, whips and additional gameplay features added over time. For more information, swing over to phantomabyss.com, a website of such historical value it belongs in a museum.
