As the Eldest Souls release date draws ever nigh, keep your eyes peeled for a series of exciting announcements over the next few weeks. Talking of which...
Tomorrow night, nine brave (possibly foolish) masters of the sword will face almost-certain death in an exclusive Eldest Souls ‘Let’s Play’ event across YouTube and Twitch.
The likes of Thoroneful, SplatterCatGaming, Distortion2 and many more souls-like experts will be battling it out amidst the pixel-crumbling Citadel. Will they triumph? We very much doubt it, but only time will tell…
Check out the New Trailer for United Label’s Tails of Iron
While we continue counting down the days to the release of Eldest Souls (22 sleeps to be precise), we wanted to share a brand new trailer from another equally-brutal title also being published under United Label. The epic RPG Adventure Tails of iron, featuring soulslike inspired combat, launches on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch & PC on September 17th!
Arise, young knight, and get ready to embark on a perilous quest, narrated by the iconic Doug Cockle, as you set out to reclaim your frog-ridden Kingdom.

As announced during the E3 Future Games Show, we’re delighted to confirm that it’s very nearly time to unsheath your swords, lone warriors.
Eldest Souls will release on the 29th July 2021.
The news was confirmed in the form of a brand new, fully animated trailer depicting the epic story of the world, from the humble beginnings of man, to their enslavement by the Old Gods, and finally, to mankind’s eventual uprising. Ending on a note of futility, our nameless hero overlooks the collosal Citadel, wherein lies a nigh-impossible task - to overthrow the Old Gods once and for all.
Also announced during E3, United Label will be releasing the Epic Adventure-RPG, Tails of Iron, later this year. With a focus on punishingly brutal, soulslike inspired combat, this deceivingly-beautiful, hand-drawn title is fully narrated by the deep, raspy vocals of Doug Cockle. As Redgi, heir to the Rat Throne, you must restore your broken Kingdom by banishing the merciless Frog Clan and their ferocious leader, Greenwart.
From frog zombies to gargantuan grubs - and everything in-between - the Kingdom is awash with danger. To overcome each perilous encounter, players will need to study their opponent’s attacks and react accordingly! Thankfully, there’s a range of deadly abilities on offer, including parry bashes and fatal executions, not to mention ranged attacks with your nifty bow and arrow. Watch the epic new trailer below, and wishlist on Steam now!
:TreeStar: This year was challenging, but also crazy in a good way. Contests, awards, releases, announcements, trailers, and much more!
But we did it!
:TreeStar: We released a bunch of trailers, published the demo, we ran a couple of contests for you, we were streaming live and answering your questions, we were nominated in multiple categories for DevGamm awards, had a moment with the nomination at Pixel Awards Europe 2020 edition, we have won at the MIX Showcase and in the Retro Roots category at Pixel Heaven 2020 edition...
Phew... That was a lot!
Especially during the year like that, which was, well, pretty demanding to all of us... So now it's time to relax for a few days. :sc_bag:
We all deserved it!
Thank you so much for your relentless support and concern. :HeartPix:We love you with all our pixel heart.:HeartPix:
