Introducing classic RPG gameplay on new platforms with Lair of the Leviathan. This is an important announcement because the game caters to the audience that craves turn-based, in-depth gameplay, but doesn't want to deal with modern action games' complexities. Lair of the Leviathan seeks to capture the magic of classic computer RPGs while eliminating technological hurdles.
Retro-inspired open-world game launches on six platforms in 2027
Lair of the Leviathan comes from the makers of Nostalgic Realms and Whiskybarrel Studios. The game is published under Deck13 Spotlight for this particular project. It's a new open-world RPG game that mixes old-school RPG gameplay with modern touches.
The game uses pixel-art for its visuals. Turn-based combat system is used in the game. It's heavily inspired by iconic games like Ultima and the original Baldur's Gate series. Modern QOL features are implemented to enhance the retro feeling.
The game will release in 2027 on various platforms. It can be played on PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, and Xbox One. Nintendo Switch and PC version are also available on Steam and GOG. We have also been monitoring other retro-inspired games such as Escape Academy 2 alongside this announcement.
