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 local co-op to save Miami before the night ends.
Story
One night, in 1987, in the small town of Miami, Arizona, a satanic cult unwittingly summons the ancient evil, Baphomet, catapulting the town into chaos. John, awoken by the kidnapping of his neighbor, sets out into the night to fight back against the demonic invasion and rescue his friends before it's too late... Take control of John as his adventure leads him through an hour-by-hour experience of what could be everyone's last night on Earth. As John, you will encounter unearthly evils, Demon lords, afflicted townsfolk, high school bullies, and a torrent of engaging, serial-like side stories – all nested in a larger-than-life fantasy that brings the ultimate evil to a neighborhood near you. Choose your class, customize your abilities, and battle nightmarish creatures as you collect unique gear in order to infiltrate the massive lairs of Demon lords that have taken over the town.
What is happening now
Kingdom of Night is an RPG adventure that launched in early December 2025 across PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The game is set in Miami, Arizona - a far cry from the resort-heavy coastal city, instead presenting a desert town marked by tumbleweeds, trailer parks, and modest watering holes. Early coverage suggests the game leans into this grounded, unglamorous Americana setting as a backdrop for its narrative. With the game now out in the wild, players are beginning to engage with its world and systems across all available platforms.
