9th Dawn Remake open-world RPG now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch; iOS and Android ports arrive on May 1
| Valorware’s popular 9th Dawn Remake is now available on 8th- and 9th-generation consoles worldwide – from Xbox One and Nintendo Switch to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X! Both console and mobile ports feature all the content in the Steam version – including first-person mode, monster pets and dungeons, and even the two mini-games (Fishing Survivors and Deck Rock). The iOS and Android ports, which are launching a week from today (May 1), support two players online; console and Steam feature both local and online co-op. Console Launch Trailer (North America): |
| LONG LIVE THE KING |
| This reimagining of the original 9th Dawn game delivers everything fans have been asking for – and then some! Bring a friend for online co-op and 2-player local co-op. Explore and do battle in first-person, go (hardcore) fishing – and revisit favorite locations (or stumble onto new ones)! The Book of Nameless – the first novel in the 9th Dawn universe – is also available. This 170-page work by author L.R. Gaunt is set 100 years before the events of 9th Dawn. Featuring characters from the games – as well as never-before-seen storylines – the book takes readers alongside Fen Greenbelt and Rena the Teamaster as they battle dragons, goblins, and unknown forces to save the kingdom of Montelorne. |

| MORE THAN A NEW COAT OF PAINT |
| Like the original title, 9th Dawn Remake is a truly massive open-world RPG – where dedicated (and curious) players can spend 70+ hours completing the main and side quests, collecting rare loot, and raising monster pets. Bursting at the seams with dungeon-crawling hijinks, 9th Dawn Remake lovingly riffs on the original 9th Dawn game – revamping the combat and streamlining quests to deliver a novel, exhilarating 9th Dawn experience. |

| In the comedic fishing mini-game Fishing Survivors, the amount of fish players defeat directly affects the fishing yield – making for a fun time with the fishies. Fishing Survivors also features a number of different missions that are locked behind overworld map exploration – along with a couple of extra worm warriors to unlock. Players can also enjoy Deck Rock – a deck-building card mini-game that was inspired by Slay the Spire and Roguebook. Taking control of medieval paper champions, players are tasked with beating game dungeons using the maps found in the main campaign. This turn-based strategy game provides countless hours of fun while players unlock all cards, level up paper champions, and complete dungeons. |

I know the community has been asking for these – and I’m happy to oblige. 9th Dawn Remake is the same game across all platforms. I can safely say that this is the ultimate way to experience the first step in the 9th Dawn saga.” – Tom Au (Founder & Solo Developer, Valorware) |
