by

The challenging deckbuilder Death Howl, which originally released on PC in December, is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch on February 19, 2026. Publisher 11 bit studios and developer The Outer Zone also announced that the game will be available through Xbox Game Pass on the same day.

Here is an overview of the game, via 11 bit studios:

Death Howl is a unique game that combines the challenging combat of Soulslike games with the strategic deckbuilding genre. It tells the story of Ro, a mother who journeys into the spirit world to fight for a chance to save her child, refusing to give up hope after a tragic loss.

Though simple in style, Death Howl tackles difficult and emotional subjects. The story is a symbolic exploration of grief, overcoming hardship, and finding peace. It feels like a dangerous hunt where progress always comes with a price, and each challenge requires careful consideration.

Like many games in the ‘souls-like’ genre, dying isn’t a failure – it’s how you learn. When you rest, enemies come back to life, so figuring out how they move and attack is key to winning. Death Howl builds on this idea with strategic, turn-based fights, a card-collecting system, and exploration in dark and dangerous environments.

Each area of the game brings fresh challenges with unique enemies and special abilities, plus new cards to customize your strategy. As you play, you’ll collect spirits that make Ro stronger, helping her overcome sadness and find determination.

Will Ro reclaim what was taken from her? Or will the spirit world take her too?
