The Backworld Sets Q2 2027 Launch Window

Publisher Top Hat Studios and developer Numor Games announced a Q2 2027 release window for The Backworld. The surreal horror RPG will be available for PC via Steam, where a demo is currently available. A new trailer and new screenshots can be viewed below.

The Backworld features a non-linear adventure as players slip between the cracks of reality into a broken world and explore endless dimensions to defy beings born out of pure chaos. The game features a mix of fantasy and sci-fi realms. Players can recruit various human and non-human characters to their party, each with their own abilities, personalities, stories, and unique battle resource. In addition to combat abilities, players can unlock action abilities for exploring, including a hoverboard, dodge-roll, and sprinting.
