Thunder Lotus Games Creative Director, Stephan Logier, revealed the studio’s new game, 33 Immortals, a co-op action-roguelike for 33 players.

Creating the Immersive Universe of 33 Immortals

Logier leads a team that is passionate about creating innovative and immersive gaming experiences. Thunder Lotus Games’ signature style of hand-drawn art and animation are incorporated into every game the studio develops. When deciding the foundation for their latest game concept, the team looked to Dante’s classic poem from the 14th century, “The Divine Comedy,” as the game’s basis.

Raid-Like Boss Encounters for 33 Immortals

The game revolves around a team of players working together to fight raid-like boss encounters. The game aims to offer quick and delightful runs, each with punchy action and high difficulty. The game design team has prioritized developing a fast, seamless experience with every run concentrated on the biggest boss encounter.

Players can upgrade their gameplay experience by optimizing their builds, equip perks and weapons, and steadily increase their rebellion’s odds of survival in the game. To create an immersive and cohesive experience, the team has focused on designing the game to encourage player collaboration throughout the game runs, to ensure that the strongest group of players survives through to the boss fights.

Unifying the Game World

As they dove deep into researching Dante’s afterlife, the team was confronted with an issue that had to be solved for them to achieve their vision for the game. The question arose: what if we made a game that allows players to immediately jump into epic, social, and cooperative raid experiences? As an answer to this logistical challenge with raids, 33 Immortals, a game for 33 players, rose out of the ashes of this challenge.

The game’s narrative is set to be an epic rebellion of immortal souls. Players take on the role of renegades fighting against eternal punishment in Inferno. The game will feature many of the characters of Dante’s poem, signifying players as a lasting theme throughout the game’s universe. The team’s objective is to create a co-op gaming world that is both inclusive and exciting.

Conclusion

33 Immortals will be available on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC, with Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass. The game’s release date is expected in 2024, and the studio plans to invite players to participate in the game’s beta coming later this year. Check out www.33immortals.com for more information.
