Thunder Lotus Games has something rather unusual under its belt as it announced 33 Immortals, a new co-op action roguelike that puts 33 players on the same field facing the wrath of God.
Set in a hellish world where damned souls are “rebelling against God’s final judgment,” 33 Immortals uses a matchmaking system to quickly bring 33 players together for raids similar to what you’d expect in an MMO. The game’s quick and seamless matchmaking launches 33 players into punchy cooperative roguelike raids, in a radically streamlined re-imagining of the massively multiplayer online experience that the developers have dubbed as “pick-up and raid.”
Created by the developers of Spiritfarer, 33 Immortals is slated for Xbox Series X|S and PC via the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store, with an Early Access version coming to Steam in 2024 for US$29.99. The game will also be included in the Xbox Game Pass next year.

Enjoy 33-player cooperative combats against hordes of enemies and massive bosses! The new style of “pick-up and raid” matchmaking gets you straight into the action, and provided ultra-fast runs through a streamlined distillation of the massively multiplayer online raid experience.
The randomized foes, challenges, and rewards ensure no roguelike run is ever the same. An epic arsenal of weapons empowered by sins and virtues, each with its own unique combat style. You can also customize and upgrade your characters in various ways and defeat enemies in this world inspired by the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri!
Players optimize their builds to match their playstyle, mixing and matching weapons, perks, and persistent upgrades to steadily improve their rebellion’s odds of withstanding the wrath of God. The team at Thunder Lotus mentions that they cannot wait to bring fans an immersive hand-drawn experience onto a broader multiplayer canvas.
