On June 19, 2024, Stoic, the developer of the upcoming Xbox-exclusive action game, Towerborne, released a new blog post on thegame’s official website. This blog post contains a veritable amount of new info for Towerborne, the most important being that Stoic plans to release the game sometime later this year for Xbox consoles and PC.
Towerborne is still under development, and game content presented in this article is not final. Towerborne will be released later this year.
For those unfamiliar, Towerborne is a hack n’ slash action game where players play as battle-harden warriors called Aces and fight to protect the citizens of Belfry from hordes of monsters. Players can bear the responsibilities of safeguarding Belfry solo or team up with other players in 4-player co-op parties.
The rest of the blog post describes Belfry’s various facilities and why players should strive to protect the town.
InTowerborne, humanity has been driven to near extinction by a mysterious calamity and the only safe haven they have left to hide from the local monsters is the town of Belfry. This town has many facilities that can aid the players in safeguarding humanity.
These include:
These facilities only comprise the first major section of Belfry and more will be revealed over time as we get closer to Towerborne’s launch and beyond.
