Iron Lung has announced a new game that is inspired by Dark Souls, called Alterborn. In order to celebrate this announcement, the team also released an in-engine trailer that you can find below.
Alterborn is a third-person survival action shooter filled with dark humor. The game draws inspiration from multiple genres such as soulslike, roguelite, looter shooter, and more.
The game will be coming to PC in Q3 2023. Below you can also find its key features.
- Altered State. Explore handcrafted levels mixed in with procedurally generated content and ever-changing gameplay mechanics. Observe how your surroundings change in real-time before your very eyes.
- Action-packed playthroughs with no two games alike. Remember that your actions do matter and impact the world around you. Whenever you delve into the Shattered Lands, your experience will differ. Spot patterns, learn them, adjust your toolset accordingly and you shall be rewarded.
- In-depth RPG and difficulty level customization. Adjust the challenge with gameplay mechanics rather than an artificial slider. Every progression system will require you to make meaningful yet difficult choices. Mix and match countless unlockables to fit your playstyle.
- Choose your friends and foes. Side with those you deem worthy and fight those you… are just not very fond of. Watch the story evolve depending on your choices, which are built around a complex relationship system filled with possibilities. Through this system you’ll be able to get a glimpse of what is truly going on within this crazed, unstable world.
Stay tuned for more!

“Dark souls inspired, roguelite, looter shooter”, great combination there! What a time to be alive” /s
“Dark Souls-inspired roguelite looter shooter”
Putin, you can launch the nukes. Do us all a favor and destroy this f***ing world
lol
Be careful what u wish for! 😀
Nioh isn’t looter shooter.
whats antithetical is to play a punishing souls game, where you get to loot but end up dying everything (roguelike-permadeath).
“The game draws inspiration from multiple genres such as soulslike, roguelite, looter shooter, and more.”
This is the polite way to say that this game is as generic as it gets.
Said it before and i will say it again – this …. abomination – “souls – like” is the second worse thing happened in games in the last 20 years after MT!I was so pumped for “Witchfire” for years and it still hurts,ffs!
MT?
LOL almost every single indie now is either roguelike or/and soulslike. No different than open world or battle royale.
