Play Into the Restless Ruins Demo Today on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S – Launch Release Date Revealed!
Ant Workshop and Wales Interactive are thrilled to announce that Into the Restless Ruins, the upcoming roguelike deckbuilder rooted in Scottish folklore, will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC on May 15, 2025. Starting today, players can get a first taste of the game with a playable demo available on PS5, Xbox, and Steam.
Into the Restless Ruins blends strategic deckbuilding with dungeon crawling, offering players the ability to create their own dungeon using a deck of cards—then auto-battling through the challenges they’ve constructed. Every card played shapes the dungeon’s layout, adds buffs or curses, and affects the outcome of each run.
What’s in the Demo?
Players can experience the core gameplay loop of building and battling through their own dungeon in Eorisdale, the game’s introductory level. The demo includes a limited selection of cards, enemies, and upgrades to give players a solid taste of the game’s strategic depth and replayability. You’ll encounter helpful NPCs like the Hen Wife and the Wulver, who can upgrade your cards and offer powerful boosts. At the end of the level, you’ll face The Grey Man (Am Fear Liath Mòr), a powerful boss drawn from Scottish folklore.
What’s in the Full Game?
The full game expands on this foundation with 116 cards across 7 categories, 6 distinct ruins to explore, and 62 creatures to face, including 6 bosses inspired by Scottish folklore. Players will also discover 40 passive charms to shape their strategy, 38 Cantrips to modify gameplay and increase rewards, and 12 weapons to unlock and master. The deeper you go, the more complex the strategy becomes, with new relics, card synergies, and meta-progression unlocking new ways to conquer the ruins.
