Las Vegas, NV — June 6, 2025 — PM Studios™ and its subsidiary development studio TeamSuneat unleash the fully-fledged version 1.0 of their brutal hack-'n'-slash roguelite, Dragon is Dead™, now terrorizing Steam libraries worldwide. It has never been a better moment to jump into the action than with this full release!
Dragon is Dead has grown and evolved alongside its community from day one in Early Access. Community feedback has left a mark on nearly every aspect of the game, from combat feel and balance to sweeping content drops. That collaborative spirit helped earn the game consistent praise from fans and critics alike, who’ve lauded its satisfying depth, snappy responsiveness, and that irresistible “just-one-more-run” pull.
The journey reaches its brutal crescendo with the 1.0 launch. Players will descend into a climactic final region, face a terrifying new boss, and take up arms as the feral new heroine, “Hunter of the Beast.” Difficulty is now fully customisable, while the revamped Tempering system invites bold, high-risk builds for those brave enough to try. Every thread—mechanical, narrative, and otherwise—has been honed by community insight into a finale worthy of a true Dragon Slayer.
