Dungeons of DUSK is in development with a Steam demo available and a planned 2026 release. Japanese language support has been confirmed.
Dungeons of DUSK is a turn-based 3D dungeon RPG set between the first two chapters of the cult FPS DUSK. It is developed by Italy-based 68k Studios, led by Federico Fanelli, and published by New Blood Interactive. The game targets the revival of early-2000s mobile RPGs, a niche New Blood CEO Dave Oshry described as underserved in the same way retro FPS was before DUSK. Oshry said the project began as an idea to make something like the mobile DOOM RPG.
Combat is grid-based: every step the player takes, enemies also move. The player collects handguns and shotguns, spends technique points on special abilities, and uses items found in the dungeon. A skill tree system lets players build their character. A FRENZY mode triggers when enemies are killed within a set number of turns, granting bonus experience. The game features a 30-stage campaign, arena, boss rush, and survival modes.
At BitSummit PUNCH in Kyoto, Oshry showed a playable build. The demo has been updated with improved field of view and map readability. Full Japanese localization has been confirmed, and a Japanese-language Steam demo is available now. The full game is planned for a 2026 release on PC, PS5, Xbox, Switch, iOS, and Android.
