Chained Beasts Launches for PC and Consoles
Featherweight Games released Chained Beasts on October 16, 2026. The gladiator roguelike supports up to four players in co-op, with characters physically chained to one another inside an arena. Poor coordination lets the chains snag on pillars and obstacles, dragging a team down. Good coordination lets players hook the same chains onto enemies. The game ships on PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, with Japanese language support. The base price is 2,600 yen, and the PC version is discounted to 1,690 yen through October 30. Platform pricing differs: the PlayStation 5 version costs 3,080 yen and the Nintendo Switch version costs 3,000 yen, while the Xbox Series X|S version is listed at 2,350 yen. As players raise their fame in the arena, new bosses and heroes appear. Skills and purchased equipment can change a run, and medicines that ease wounds carry side effects.
