Release Date: October 16, 2026
SEOUL, South Korea – October 16, 2026 – Global game publisher CFK announced today that Nightmare: The Lunatic, the rogue-lite action RPG from Korean indie studio Maetdol Games, is available now on PS5 worldwide as a digital download, launching in every region at the same time.
Players wake with no memory of who they are, trapped in a nightmare that won't end. Escaping means exploring a dream that repeats like a hamster wheel and reaching its end. With the help of the Dream Merchant, caught up in the nightmare alongside them, they take on the fight to cut it off at the source.
■ Combat and Progression
● Quick, flashy action — Use all of the actions at your disposal, such as dash, dodge, and parry, to avoid or defend against the attacks of the powerful monsters roaming the nightmare.
● Boss battles that keep you on your toes — Smash through the bosses that guard each region to find clues for how to escape. Before them, you'll have to deal with many powerful enemies littered about the place, each with their own vivid, flashy attacks.
● Custom weapon combinations to suit you — Select up to three of an arsenal of weapons to bring with you, and swap between them depending on the situation. Find your favorite combinations based on preferences or efficiency.
● Rogue-lite elements — The layouts of the dungeons change with every playthrough, giving a fresh new feel to each adventure you embark on. When you get a game over, it's right back to the beginning again.
● RPG progression that makes you stronger — With each adventure, you'll unlock new contracts and abilities, letting you build your own character and strengthen your basic skills.
Nightmare: The Lunatic first reached consoles with its Nintendo Switch™ release last year. Built by Korean indie studio Maetdol Games, it’s a rogue-lite action RPG about escaping a nightmare you can’t wake from — real-time weapon swapping, special attacks, dodges and parries, and a dungeon that rebuilds itself every run.
