Hey Warriors!



Hope this message finds you in good spirits! We've got some important news to share about Die by the Blade.

After a serious consideration, we mutually agreed to part ways with our publishing partner. It was a difficult decision for everyone to make but it is in the best interest of our game and its future.

We're very sorry for the extended wait for our game, and for the silence. We heard your shouts and concerns, but we were engaged in long and complicated negotiations to acquire the project back from our publishing partner and at the same time to secure an investor to finalize the game. It was frustrating to not be able to share the progress of the complicated situation with you – confidentiality and the idea of jinxing the success kept us on the down-low - but from now on, we can finally talk openly and we will share all with you until the launch!

The cool part? No more delays and full steam to the launch! We're dropping Die by the Blade on PC first on 16.05.2024 followed by XBOX and Playstation versions in October. We put all the efforts to meet your expectations and make Die by the Blade the great game we’ve promised and you supported!

We want to chat with you, hear your thoughts, and answer your questions. Hit us up on socials, forums, wherever you hang out. Your input is the most important to us.

Thanks for being the heartbeat of Die by the Blade. This journey's been wild, but we are in the finals now! Sharpen your swords and let's see how many will Die by the Blade this year!
