Press release:
October 20, 2026 – As revealed during IGN x ID@XBOX, indie developer Wispfire and narrative game publisher Fellow Traveller have announced that Red Kiss, their Cold War vampire spy RPG, is coming to XBOX and Game Pass on Day One, alongside its previously announced PC release via Steam.

Set in the underworld of 1989 Cold War Berlin, Red Kiss puts players in charge of a house full of dangerously attractive, emotionally complicated vampire spies. There’s espionage, political intrigue, blood bonds, questionable interpersonal decisions, and one very important rule: you must obey Daddy.

Players take on the role of a newly turned vampire recruited by the mysterious and domineering Daddy, stepping into the role of an Augur. Gifted with the ability to communicate telepathically, an Augur directs a collection of eccentric vampire operatives through an occult device known as the Tabernacle, dispatching them across a city divided by politics, paranoia and an increasingly complicated web of supernatural interests.

Managing a house of vampires isn’t all sharp suits, sharp teeth, and sharp tongues.

Each operative brings their own skills, secrets, relationships and personal agendas to the table. Players must decide who to send on dangerous assignments, how to navigate skill checks, manage blood and energy, and balance their relationships with their increasingly messy spymates.

Blending dispatch-style strategic gameplay, visual novel storytelling, and light RPG management, Red Kiss offers a dark fantasy where desire and danger are rarely far apart. Players will get to know their operatives, develop blood bonds, uncover their personal stories and decide just how far they’re willing to go.

With Red Kiss coming to XBOX and Game Pass on Day One, alongside its announced release on PC via Steam, even more players will have the opportunity to discover what it means to be one of Daddy’s pets spies. Players can wishlist the game now on Steam.
