Press release:
Melbourne, Australia – August 20, 2026 | After its recent virality during its demo launch, Melbourne and Perth-based developer Henry’s House are thrilled to say that their battle-top roguelite game Slayblade is out now on PC (via Steam).

Slayblade is a physics roguelite that lets you build your battle-top and become King of the Streets! Collect 60+ parts, merge their powers, and dominate opponents in a chill roguelite!

Slayblade is set in a vibrant Y2K city, letting players skate around winning cash and upgrades on their way to the top. And if you die in the game, you die in real life (probably not).

Slayblade is out now on PC (via Steam) for $5 USD, with a two-week 15% launch discount. For more information, consider following along on TikTok @henryshousegames and Bluesky @moomoomang.bsky.social.
