Fatbot Games just announced that the Early Access release date for their self-proclaimed boomer shooter, Gravelord, will be January 22, 2025. This is when their fast-paced FPS with dak fantasy inspired themes will be first playable on Steam.
Fatbot Games says that Gravelord "draws inspiration from classic FPS titles like Doom and Quake." Players will be Queedo the titular gravedigger. You will have access to a variety of weapons and Tarot card power-ups, along with a magic shovel. You'll use all these to re-dead the newly undead.
The initial Early Access release of Gravelord will include the full first episode and a bonus level. There will also be a level editor released some months after the initial Early Access launch.
