DENVER, CO, USA – January 29, 2025 – Digital Bandidos is thrilled to announce that it will be bringing the Town of Salem series to consoles for the first time in 2025. Town of Salem 2, the sequel to the beloved social deduction phenomenon, will launch for current-generation PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch consoles later this year – and is now available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Fans of the franchise can immerse themselves in the thrill of strategy and deception from anywhere, for free.
Marking a key step in its evolution, the mobile and console release of Town of Salem 2 signals a significant expansion of the IP under Digital Bandidos' stewardship. Released in 2014, the original Town of Salem is one of the longest-running titles in the popular social deduction genre. Town of Salem 2 debuted on Steam in 2023, dramatically expanding and improving on the original, with the franchise's community currently standing at over 12 million players.
The mobile version of Town of Salem 2 is the first of many releases from Digital Bandidos on course for 2025, including the game's debut on current-generation console releases later in the year. In addition, the company is preparing for exciting updates on other projects, including Soulstone Survivors, and looks forward to unveiling new games in development.
"We are honored to steward such a beloved franchise and excited to deliver an exceptional experience for both long-time fans and newcomers," said Steve Escalante, CEO and co-founder of Digital Bandidos. "When we explored the opportunity to grow the Town of Salem series, our goal was clear: deliver consistent, meaningful content updates and bring the game to new platforms.
"This week's mobile launch is a significant milestone, offering players the same thrilling experience on the go while marking the start of an exciting year ahead — featuring more content, a multi-platform expansion, and continued celebration of our vibrant community of over 12 million players."
