Developer ONEUNIVERSE has announced the early access release date of free-to-play dungeon crawler, Dungeon Stalkers, and it’s August 13th.
On top of that, a PS5 version has been confirmed to be in the early stages of development, with the team saying that it was “among the Most-Played demos at its debut at Steam Next Fest in February 2025, adding it’s “slowly made its way up the ranks currently sitting in a top 150 spot in the Steam wishlists charts after this last weekend’s final beta test.”
Here’s the key features from the press release:
- Armor Destruction System: As characters take damage, this is represented visually with degraded armor and can be seen by enemy players, adding tension and strategic depth on how and when to engage.
- Dynamic Witch’s Curse System: The Witch’s Curse changes dungeon conditions multiple times per session. Each 5 minute phase can bestow buffs, debuffs, summon power monsters or change rules on at moment’s notice
- Multiple Game Modes: Choose between a lighter, fun and casual PvE experience or hardcore competitive PvEvP dungeon run modes to suit your style and do so with teammates or solo.
- Play as Unique Stalkers: Select from a roster of vivid, story-driven characters with diverse abilities and discover the story behind why each of them has found themselves here and unfold the secrets to the dungeon itself
Choose your Stalker—each with their own story, personality, and skills—and descend into the Witch’s cursed dungeon. Enter solo or with trusted companions in teams of up to three. As you explore, gather loot, fight off corrupted monsters, and clash with rival Stalkers, your ultimate goal is to escape alive. But beware: no two runs are alike. The Witch’s Curse system dynamically alters dungeon conditions every session, changing the odds—and the challenges.
Dungeon Stalkers will be coming to PC early access on August 13th.
