We have a release date along with a new trailer for Skull Horde, a Diablo 2-inspired auto-battle dungeon crawler. Coming from developer 8BitSkull who also made BORE BLASTERS and Void Scrappers - it arrives on April 10th with Native Linux and Steam Deck support.

In Skull Horde you play as a flying skull necromancer with a literal bone to pick and seek revenge against your own body after it betrayed you. Lead legions of undead minions to battle on your behalf, commanding them on 20-minute roguelike runs through procedurally generated dungeons brimming with loot and fresh challenges to complete. Create overpowered builds by purchasing and merging new unit types with special abilities, and strategise with vengeful glee. Combine these with unlockable perks, items and boons located in dungeons to maximise the damage as your army does your bidding.

See the new trailer below:

Skull Horde will be available in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), and Simplified Chinese.

Game Highlights:

  • No Body No Problem!: Stunt on the haters (your own body) as one of multiple playable characters with unique special abilities, including a zombie skull which can raise flesh enemies and skeletons (double the necromancy!)
  • Super Soldier Squad: Turn your army into the finest assortment of expendable minions that money can buy, combining loot found in the dungeons to gain great advantages, and merging multiple units to make them stronger.
  • Procedurally Generated Dungeons: No two dungeons are alike and each level features a variety of enemy types, ensuring that builds must be tinkered and tweaked to overcome their attacks. Unique challenges that reward new unlocks and content will also keep you on your skele-toes.
Release Date: 10th April 2026
