Press release:
LIMASSOL, Cyprus — Aug. 14, 2023.
The Limassol-based (Cyprus) indie games publisher ESDigital Games and Moscow-based (Russia) indie games developer Sobaka Studio, are today very glad and excited to announce that their fast-paced twin-stick shooter “Renaissance” (which is set in a grim post-apocalyptic Renaissance), is coming to PC via Early Access (through Steam and EGS) on September 14th, 2023, with a second and third installment coming later this year.

Console releases for PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch are planned for 2024.

Beginning Tuesday, Aug. 22, 2023, REMEDIUM will have a new playtest available to try out on the Steam page. This demo will be available until Sunday, Aug. 27, through the duration of Gamescom 2023.

A cataclysmic event a century ago still devastates the remnants of a dying continent. The haunting cast of the Grey Plague left bloodthirsty beasts stalking the world as citizens hide away while desperately searching for a cure. Tragedy takes an even sharper turn for the worst when one of the few remaining survivors is infected, fated to morph into an unspeakable monstrosity.

Quickly find a cure or succumb to the horrifying consequences of the creeping infection. Run, gun, and dodge through vicious packs of chimeras, mutants, elementals, gargoyles, and golems, in the dilapidated landscapes. As his condition worsens, use the dreadful symptoms to his advantage to eliminate the bloodthirsty creatures standing in the way.

Scour for limited resources to concoct powerful potions, injections, and amalgams. Use these to upgrade gear and weapons or bolster our hero’s strength and resolve. Lace firepower with elemental binding to create specialized ammo like piercing ice bullets and electrifying jolts. Rise victorious from grueling boss fights to find an antidote to save a world.

“REMEDIUM’s desolate, post-apocalyptic setting combined with its addicting fast-paced action will take our beloved universe to unprecedented white knuckle heights,” said the Sobaka Studio development team.

“We also invite everyone to experience everything the Remedium universe has to offer with REMEDIUM: Sentinels, the grim rogue-lite bullet hell set in the same world available now on PC via Steam, complete with Steam Deck compatibility, and Epic Games Store as well as Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4|5.”

REMEDIUM releases on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023 for PC via Steam Early Access and Epic Games Store for Windows, Mac, and Linux and will offer language support for English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese.
