Open-world RPG Dread Delusion is coming out of Early Access next week

Dread Delusion, an open-world RPG from publisher DreadXP and developer Lovely Hellplace, is coming out of Early Access on May 14 for PC via Steam. Since its initial release on June 15, 2022, the game has gone through significant updates and improvements, and with its official release, you can expect tons of new content and features to dive deeper into.

One of the major additions in the full release is the introduction of a new realm known as the Underlands. This expansion brings fresh opportunities for exploration, with new towns, dungeons, quests, and endgame content awaiting you. Additionally, you can look forward to encountering cursed enemies, engaging in countless pages of dialogue and lore, and experiencing a deeper immersion into the game’s richly crafted world.

In Dread Delusion, players are invited to carve their own path through the shattered land, navigating the floating continents and uncovering its dark secrets. From mushroom forests to undead mausoleums, the game offers a hand-crafted open world filled with strange places and perils. Whether players choose to follow the game’s quests or embark on their own explorations, they’ll encounter a narrative-driven experience that responds to their choices and actions.

The game emphasizes player progression, offering multiple pathways to tackle challenges. Combat is not the only option, as you can employ diplomacy, stealth, and other non-combat skills to overcome obstacles. Towns scattered throughout the world serve as hubs for rest, trade, and interaction with NPCs, providing a break from the dangers of the wilderness.

Character progression is highly customizable, allowing you to build your characters according to you preferred playstyle. Also, smithing and alchemy mechanics enables you to craft and upgrade equipment, transforming simple items into powerful artifacts. With its retro-inspired 3D aesthetic and gameplay reminiscent of classic RPGs from the 2000s, Dread Delusion offers a nostalgic yet fresh experience for players seeking immersive storytelling and expansive exploration.
