THE NIGHT COMES TO CONSOLES 

Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X|S preorders begin September 17, with a 10% preorder discount available ahead of launch.

PlayStation 5 players can descend deeper into the night with the exclusive Kingdom of Night — MIDNIGHT EDITION. This special edition includes the complete game and the “NIGHT OF ’97” PSN Avatar Collection, featuring 25 exclusive PSN avatars based on the characters of Kingdom of Night.




A NIGHT WORTH REMEMBERING

Originally released for PC in December 2025, Kingdom of Night earned praise for its atmospheric fusion of 1980s nostalgia and supernatural horror, its handcrafted pixel-art world, open-ended exploration, character customization, and local co-op.

Now, the night comes to consoles.



WHEN HELL COMES TO YOUR HOMETOWN, FIGHT BACK.

Kingdom of Night is an 80s-inspired isometric action RPG where coming-of-age drama meets cosmic horror.

When a satanic cult unleashes the ancient evil Baphomet on the small town of Miami, Arizona, high school student John must fight through a night of demonic chaos to rescue his friends before the town is lost forever.

Choose from five distinct classes—Barbarian, Knight, Rogue, Necromancer, or Sorcerer—and customize your build with expansive skill trees, powerful loot, and unique equipment. Explore the town freely, battle terrifying Demon Generals in any order, uncover the stories of Miami’s residents, and descend into massive demon lairs.

Face the apocalypse alone or team up with a friend in two-player local co-op to save Miami before the night ends.

Friday night just became the end of the world.
