Press release:
MELBOURNE – November 30, 2023.
The Melbourne-based (Australia) indie games developer League of Geeks (the devs behind the hugely successful indie strategy game Armello and roguelite colony sim “Jumplight Odyssey”), today announced with great joy and excitement that their turn-based grand strategy game “Solium Infernum“, is coming to PC via Steam on February 14th, 2024.

The news comes alongside a new Infernal Strategy trailer which was shown at the PC Gaming Show. The studio also teased an upcoming multiplayer playtest in early 2024.

Solium Infernum is a political grand strategy game of subterfuge, intrigue, and betrayal set in Hell. Based on the acclaimed cult classic from Vic Davis, players fight to become the rulers of Hell’s infernal regions. The game includes both a single-player mode with all-new story-driven scenarios and skirmishes and online multiplayer with custom asynchronous matches for up to six players.
As one of the eight great Archfiends of Hell, players must outwit and outmanoeuvre their rivals to claim the empty Infernal Throne through a mastery of devious political and military strategy. With a litany of tactics awaiting their command, players will bluff, backstab, and sow betrayal on their pathway to victory. Solium Infernum also brings a range of game options, from 2-4 hour single-player matches to epic, weeklong, six-player multiplayer matches requiring only a few minutes to play every day.

“Solium Infernum has much to offer both grand strategy enthusiasts and newcomers. We’ve been diligently crafting a game that caters to all players, from those who prefer single-player experiences to multiplayer aficionados who relish competing, betraying, and backstabbing their friends online,” said Trent Kusters, Co-Founder and Director of League of Geeks.

“Our inclusion of asynchronous multiplayer makes Solium Infernum accessible to everyone’s schedules, and we eagerly anticipate witnessing how the new rulers of hell ascend to their thrones.”

Grand strategy fans eager to discover the multiplayer experience that Solium Infernum has to offer before the launch will be able to participate in a multiplayer playtest early next year, with more details coming soon.

Solium Infernum will be launched on PC via Steam on February 14, 2024. Players can now wishlist in both stores. For more information, please visit the game’s official website and wishlist Solium Infernum now on Steam.
