Cellar Door Games Reveals Neath, a Tactical Roguelike for PC Launching in 2026

The Rogue Legacy studio pivots to a darker tactical roguelike that lets players direct both sides of the fight.

Overview

  • Neath debuted with an announcement trailer during the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted 2025, and the game is available to wishlist on Steam.
  • Cellar Door Games lists a 2026 launch window, while a separate article’s 2006 date appears to be a typographical error.
  • Players navigate an irradiated inverted tower under shifting turn orders, dictating actions for allies and enemies through systems like engagement-locking and an attack resolve mechanic.
  • Runs are shaped by Taboos that alter the rules, settlement building in Shale, Fate’s Die events, and dungeon-crawler style encounters with evolving party abilities and relics.
  • Rock Paper Shotgun reports the studio plans closed betas next year, with sign-ups to be handled through Cellar Door’s Discord.
