Side-scrolling roguelite action-RPG Source of Madness is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch on May 11th, alongside the full launch of the Steam version, after its successful run in Early Access.
With ever-changing landscapes to explore and new monstrosities to face on every run, this Lovecraftian odyssey offers a truly unique spin on the genre. Upon the 1.0 launch, Source of Madness will increase in price to $19.99 / €19.99 / £16.99 on Steam and the launch price on console will be the same. Any Steam players wanting to secure Source of Madness at its current Early Access price can still purchase the game before May 11th.
Source of Madness puts players in the role of an acolyte in an alternate reality controlled by cosmic entities. These worlds warp and distort each day, leaving the Loam Lands unpredictably terraformed and inhabited by grotesque beings of celestial origins. To get to the source of this unknowable evil, your voyage will take you across nine biomes, from the depths of Dungeon of Forgotten Knowledge, the eerie landscape of the Forest of Lies, to the grand non-euclidean citadel R’Lyeh, all the way up to celestial bodies on the rims of the universe.
On Xbox Series X|S and PS5, Source of Madness runs with up to 4K resolution at 60fps, keeping the action fluid and responsive. On Xbox One and PS4, players can enjoy a native 1080p resolution at 60fps. On Nintendo Switch, Source of Madness runs at 1080p docked and 720p in handheld/tabletop mode, targeting 60fps.

With a varied cast of characters to choose from, how you play is up to you.
