Press release:
The US-based indie games publisher United Label and Manchester-based (the UK) indie games developer Odd Bug Studio, are today very happy and excited to announce that their adventure-RPG “Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter”, is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores.

The action-RPG ‘squeak-quel’ takes place a number of years after the critically-acclaimed 2021 original game, and follows a new protagonist – Arlo, heir to the Warden of the Wastes – on his own bloody ‘tail’ of vengeance against an ancient, existential threat to the Ratdom.

Tails of Iron 2 builds upon its predecessor in several meaningful ways inspired by core player feedback, that serve to evolve rather than reinvent the fan-favourite formula. This includes a more expansive campaign twice the length of Tails of Iron, a more varied game world comprising six diverse biomes, new giant beast hunts, an all-new spellcasting system, and a deeper, enhanced version of the saga’s trademark brutal-but-fair combat.

Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is available in digital Standard and Deluxe versions. In addition to the base game, those buying the Deluxe version will receive two DLC packs (which will also be available to purchase separately): The ‘Augur of the Draugr’ set that includes the legendary Draugr armour of old, and the ‘Hair to the Throne’ cosmetic pack, which features an exclusive collection of beards and hairstyles. The PC Deluxe version also includes the game’s digital artbook and official soundtrack.

Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter features:

Explore a vast, wintry kingdom: Fully narrated by RPG legend Doug Cockle (The Witcher franchise, Alan Wake 2, Baldur’s Gate 3) prepare to embark on an epic adventure across the northern realm and biomes of the Ratdom; an expansive, frost-bitten land on the brink of all-out war.
Hunt down giant beasts: Track down and defeat 15 legendary beasts of the Ratdom’s northern frontier and be rewarded with rare resources with which to craft devastating equipment. But be warned, these colossal creatures won’t go down without a fight… and then some.
Unleash the power of gods: Unlock the power of the four deities and unleash their powerful ‘Elementa’ spells in combat; harness the magics of fire, poison, ice, and electric upon the damned malevolent Dark Wings!
Master challenging combat: Face down the Dark Wing threat in deadly battles; let the devilish bats taste steel of blade and spear, or attack at range with bolts and arrows… and set elemental traps against these marauding foes (and adjust the difficulty at any point if it’s getting *too* much of a challenge – we won’t judge!)
Improved base building: Construct and upgrade the devastated Rat fortress of Winter’s Edge to gain access to more powerful items from the smithy, tastier meals at the kitchen, a wider range of powerful traps from the shoppe, and more!
