Kyroware Games announced Soul Chained will launch on PC via Steam on September 1. The cooperative soul-like supports up to four players linked by chains, with a friend pass so only one person needs to buy the game. The solo-developed title draws inspiration from Dark Souls and Chained Together.
The game was first teased in a development video on creator Andrew Nicolaou's X account in May 2025, with a demo following later. By August 2025 it had gathered 10,000 wishlists. The final release arrives with a friend pass, letting groups of up to four play with a single purchase.
Combat follows typical soul-like rules, but the chain adds a twist: mistimed dodges can cause falls, while pulling the chain taut can trip enemies. Platforming sections, including jumps over magma and past a giant iron ball, require separate coordination.
