Soulslike Deck-Builder Death Howl Announced

The latest game from the Danish team The Outer Zone and 11 bit studios, sorrow meets strategy with the haunting Soulslike deck-builder Death Howl.

Weaving a poignant tale of grief, healing, and resilience, the powerful presentation of Death Howl has been crafted into an atmospheric Soulslike deck-builder. 

Death Howl inserts said deck-building mechanics into an explorative open world, one that is divided into grim biomes such as the Forest of Howling Shadows or the Meadows of Delusion. 

Each region in turn unlocks new cards to craft, alongside fragments of Ro’s story that are steeped in themes of love and loss.

Malte Burup, the Director, Artist, and Writer for Death Howl at The Outer Zone, said the following:

“The loss of a loved one is universal—an inevitable part of the human experience. We believe our narrative approach will resonate with players of all kinds. 

We’ve introduced a fresh take on the deck-builder genre, combining it with soulslike exploration and adding compelling lore to leave a lasting impact on anyone who joins Ro on her journey.” 

Based in Copenhagen, joining Malte Burup at The Outer Zone are Rasmus Nilsson, Programmer and Designer, and Lasse Sommer, Animator, Artist, and Designer.
