80s inspired action RPG announces launch date with new trailer featuring never-before-seen gameplay, story, and theme by legendary composer Vince DiCola
Developer Friends of Safety and publisher DANGEN Entertainment have announced that Kingdom of Night, the long awaited 80s in spired isometric action RPG, will launch on December 2nd for PC via Steam, GoG, Humble Store, and itch.io.
A brand new release date trailer has dropped, showcasing a flood of never before seen gameplay, from infernal boss battles and neon lit streets, to haunting glimpses of the cult driven chaos overtaking Miami, Arizona.
The trailer also features an original theme song composed by none other than Vince DiCola, the legendary 1980s composer behind Transformers: The Movie and Rocky IV.
Set in an alternate 1987 in the quiet desert town of Miami, Arizona, Kingdom of Night follows John, a teenager who wakes to find his neighbor kidnapped by a satanic cult that has inadvertently unleashed the ancient evil Baphomet upon his hometown, turning it into a hellish invasion.
What begins as a desperate rescue mission quickly escalates into a cosmic battle for survival, as John must fight nightmarish demons, corrupted townsfolk, and high school bullies turned monstrous. Over the course of a single, harrowing night, he must infiltrate the lairs of powerful demon generals and rally the strength to confront Baphomet’s looming fortress, discovering that the fate of his friends, and perhaps the world, hangs in the balance.
A demo for Kingdom of Night is currently available on Steam, offering a full vertical slice of the coming-of-age adventure.

Key Features
- Save Miami: Take down the town’s demons as you get closer to unraveling Baphomet’s grip on Miami. Explore the entire map of the town, interact with a wide cast of NPCs and take on the Demon Generals in the order that you wish.
- Choose Your Class: Choose from 5 different classes: Barbarian, Knight, Rogue, Necromancer and Sorcerer. Each class excels differently, providing a unique play style depending on your choice. The class you choose decides your base style, while the skill trees allow for further customization.
- Shape Your Character: Skill trees are split into three branches, containing 10 different talents each. As you level up, spend allotted points into any of the three branches of your class. Once you have reached level 10 in your first branch, you are free to cross over into another branch, allowing you to fully customize your play style.
- Hoard the Best Gear: Outfit yourself with new equipment via quest rewards, hidden items throughout the town, and scoring random drops from a multi-tiered loot system with variable drop rates. Items range from common to completely unique. The items you collect provide an extra dimension to character stat development and have special abilities that will make you even more powerful.
- Co-op With Your Friends: You don’t have to face the forces of darkness by yourself. In Kingdom of Night, either play through the campaign as John alone, or with a friend in local co-op. Team up and synergize different character classes, becoming a torrent of annihilation that the underworld will fear.
