Defy death, hoard power and slaughter gods 

Meridiem is pleased to announce Dragon is Dead is now available physically for PlayStation® 5 and Nintendo Switch™. Developed by Team Suneat, Dragon is Dead is a 2D dark fantasy hack and slash, roguelite action platformer that offers tons of customization fun with different character skill trees and legendary equipment. 

Dragon is Dead is published worldwide digitally and in North America physically by PM Studios®, with Meridiem responsible for crafting the game’s European physical Guernian Edition, overseeing its design and manufacturing and packing it with collectible extras, including a special sleeve, character cards and the Lore of Guernian! 

In this dark fantasy action roguelite, death is only the beginning. As an immortal Successor, slash through corrupted lands, master three distinct classes, and keep your legendary gear to return stronger after every fall. The Black Dawn awaits. 

Play as an immortal Successor 

You are a Successor, an immortal warrior empowered by the gods Lu, Ashuran, and Harnia. When you die, you revive with your gear, runes, and unlocks intact and head back out from Cliffshire to push further into corrupted zones. 

Choose your Successor 

You’ll start as the Spellblade and unlock additional Successors as you progress. Each has its own skill tree, weapons, and playstyle 

Playable Classes 

  • Spellblade - Element-focused hybrid with close and mid-range attacks built around fire, frost, and lightning. 
  • Berserker - Heavy melee bruiser that trades its own HP and positioning for huge damage and armor.  
  • Hunter - Mobile ranged fighter using thrown weapons, poison, and beast abilities to apply damage over time and control space. 

2D Roguelite Hack-and-Slash Combat 

Combat revolves around precise dodges, reading telegraphed attacks, and committing to aggressive combos. Areas are multi-layered 2D stages that reshuffle enemy layouts, hazards, and loot each run. When you fall, you lose gold and temporary bonuses, but your gear and runes stay with you and form the base of your next attempt. 

Loot, runes, and artifacts 

Hunt Elites and Bosses to claim Rune Stones, then craft them into Legendary and Mythic equipment. Runes and class skill trees interact to define your build, while artifacts you pick up mid-run stack into powerful synergies. 

Uncover the Black Dawn 

The dragon Guernian has fallen, and his Corruption twists the world. You must fight your way to the Citadel at the center of the rift. But be warned: the history you know is a lie. Track down major bosses, piece together the fragments of the past, and discover what the Black Dawn is really doing with the Corruption. 

Dragon is Dead - Guernian Edition is now available physically for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. The game is available digitally worldwide through PM Studios
