Macclesfield, UK – 4 November 2025. Publisher Silver Lining Interactive is proud to announce a partnership with developer The Outer Zone and digital publisher 11 bit studios to release a physical edition of Death Howl for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch in Q1 2026.
Step into a world where sorrow lingers and spirits roam. Death Howl blends the challenge of a soulslike with the strategy of a deck builder, inviting players to craft cards, harness shamanic totems, and confront tormented spirits across a mystical realm. At its heart lies the story of Ro, a grieving mother defying the boundaries of life and death in a desperate attempt to bring back her son.
Collectors and fans alike will be able to pre-order the boxed edition of Death Howl, which also includes a digital copy of the soundtrack, through Silver Lining Direct or local retailers soon, securing their copy of this hauntingly atmospheric journey ahead of its release on shelves.
About Death Howl
A journey to the spirit realm
In forgotten lands cloaked in myth, Ro, a hunter from a humble tribe, descends into the spirit world, guided only by grief and distant whispers. Her path is one of love, loss, and resilience, as every step forward uncovers hidden memories and long-buried truths.
Master your deck-building skills
Explore eerie regions, gather ingredients, and craft cards to expand your tactical options. Shamanic totems unlock powerful new abilities, while melee and ranged spells allow you to balance offence and defence. Every card you create shapes your survival strategy in the battles ahead.
Engage in grid-based combat
The spirit world is relentless. Test your wits against unique enemy types and towering bosses in tense, grid-based encounters. Each decision counts as you adapt your deck and carve a path through haunted lands like the Forest of Howling Shadows and the Meadows of Delusion.
A mother's grief, a spirit's journey
At its core, Death Howl is more than combat; it's a moving tale of grief, healing, and acceptance. Ro's journey into the unknown is both harrowing and hopeful, weaving an atmospheric story where every victory carries the weight of love and loss.
Pre-orders for the Death Howl physical edition will open soon at Silver Lining Interactive and local retailers. Don't miss the chance to own this unforgettable tale in a beautiful boxed release. More information soon!
