Assassin’s Creed Veteran Alexandre Amancio Reveals Nightholme, a Horror PvPvE Extraction RPG

The Lisbon studio plans closed betas in 2026 ahead of a PC and console launch.

Overview

  • Studio Ellipsis, founded by Alexandre Amancio in Lisbon, formally announced Nightholme with a trailer and pre‑alpha gameplay reveal.
  • The game is a PvPvE extraction RPG where rival three‑player squads compete in a corrupted fantasy world overrun by the Gloom.
  • Players choose Grimrunners who drink Nocturn to transform into adjustable monstrous archetypes, altering builds dynamically during each run.
  • Successful extractions secure Terror Seeds that grant permanent abilities, with boss hunts and player encounters determining who escapes with the loot.
  • A Steam page and official site are live for wishlisting and beta sign‑ups, with closed tests planned for 2026 and a PC and console release targeted for the same year.
