Devolver Digital and Team WIBY have announced that Phantom Abyss has left early access and is now in full retail release. The Tomb Raider-esque asynchronous multiplayer game can be played via Xbox Series X/S, on Xbox Game Pass, or Steam.
Players are charged with delving into ancient labyrinthine tombs to find all the treasures inside. Developers have released a new trailer that showcases gameplay, deadly traps, bottomless pits, aggressive guardians, and giant spikes.
Throughout its nearly three-year early access period, players have been instrumental in assisting developers in the best features to include in the game. According to the team, the game has undergone a massive transformation that now offers massively improved gameplay and greatly expanded features for its 1.0 debut.
What’s new in v1.0?
- Adventure Mode: Embark on curated journeys through hand-crafted temples, each featuring a unique whip, relic, and set of challenges.
- Abyss Mode: Face the ultimate test in the classic, ever-changing, procedurally-generated temple. Only one explorer can claim its hidden glory.
- Daily Mode: Hone your skills with fresh twists on familiar trials, served up each day for a new taste of adventure.
Other features
- Asynchronous Multiplayer: Watch and learn from the mistakes of up to 20 phantoms including your Steam friends that have attempted the same temple and steal their whips as they fall.
- Treacherous Floors: The more difficult a relic is to obtain, the greater the reward – the final Legendary Relic of a temple allows you to claim the whole temple so that it’s gone forever.
- Blessings from the Gods: Collect as much treasure as you can to please the gods and gain a double jump, glide jump, extended slide, damage protection, and more!
- Unlockable Whips: Each whips carries a minor blessing but also a curse that may complicate your attempt at riches and glory.
- Social Connections: Players can share Temple Codes for their failed runs allowing friends to attempt the same temple or share their Adventure Code which yields a playlist of temples that a player has attempted in the past.
