Morbid: The Seven Acolytes Returns with a Modernized Reimagining
Merge Games and Still Running Studio have confirmed the continuation of the pixelated isometric action title Morbid: The Seven Acolytes. The project, previously known as Morbid: The Lords of Ire, carries a key distinction from the original installment that fans will notice right away.
Even after Gahara’s defeat, the antagonists did not vanish. They lingered, going quiet yet ready to strike when the moment was right. This backstory is echoed by the narrative description guiding the new game’s evolution.
The sequel shifts to a third-person perspective and showcases more contemporary visuals. The developers highlight fresh weaponry, upgraded gear, and a revised progression system designed to deliver a tighter, more responsive combat experience.
The game world around the player is shaped by choices made during play. The protagonist, a determined heroine, will traverse five distinct realms crafted in a horror-punk aesthetic. Core objectives remain clear: confront and topple the bosses and drive the Gahars from their harrowing domain.
Morbid: The Lords of Ire is slated for a release within the current year, with Steam listing its storefront page already. Fans who enjoyed the original edition, released in 2020, can expect a refined experience that builds on the positive reception the first game earned from players in North America and beyond. The renewed title aims to balance nostalgia with modernized mechanics to appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers in the Canadian and American markets.
