About Death Howl
  • Death Howl is a genre-defying soulslike deck builder that follows Ro, a mother who refuses to accept the loss of her son, Olvi.
  • While minimalist in presentation, Death Howl leverages a striking art style with profound, harrowing themes that revolve around grief, sorrow, survival, and acceptance.
  • Death Howl demands sharp hunting instincts to anticipate enemy movement and learn attack patterns.
  • True to soulslike tropes, defeat is not the end but part of the learning path. Resting reinvigorates Ro, but also grants fallen foes life anew.
  • Death Howl combines these soulslike mechanics with tactical, grid-based combat, deck-building systems, and action-RPG exploration across eerie, hostile biomes.
  • Each region introduces new enemies, abilities, cards, and choices that will shape player progress.
Death Howl is now available on PC through Steam, GOG, and Windows Game Pass, and will be coming to PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass on February 19th, 2026. The game’s development was supported by the Danish Film Institute’s program The Games Scheme.
