Deck of Haunts Brings Its House of Horrors to Consoles October 8

OSAKA, JAPAN – September 24, 2026 – DANGEN Entertainment and developer Mantis Games have announced that Deck of Haunts, the sinister deckbuilding roguelike where players become a malevolent haunted house, will launch for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on October 8, 2026.

A chilling Console Release Date Trailer has been unveiled alongside today's announcement, offering a look at the expanded version of Deck of Haunts coming to consoles.

Deck of Haunts - Console Release Date Trailer

Since its original PC release in May 2025, Deck of Haunts has undergone a remarkable transformation. More than a year of content updates, new systems and community-driven improvements have dramatically expanded the game, introducing new game modes, dozens of new cards, additional rooms and creatures, a mission and story system, new ways to build and customize decks, major changes to mansion construction and human navigation, and much more. The result is a substantially expanded version of the original PC release.

Console players will get the benefit of that entire evolution from day one.

Among the major additions coming standard with the console release are:

• A Huge Selection of New Cards and Rooms - The post-launch updates introduced dozens of additional cards and numerous new rooms, greatly expanding the possibilities for constructing both your deck and your haunted domain.

• New Starter Decks and Creative Deck building - Experiment with specialized playstyles or assemble a custom starting deck from cards you've unlocked.

• Missions, Story and Meta-Progression - Complete an extensive series of missions to unlock cards, rooms, upgrades, cosmetics, gameplay modifiers and new pieces of lore surrounding the House and its creatures.

• Expanded Room-Building and Human Navigation - Room size now plays a major strategic role in how humans traverse the mansion, making the architecture of the house itself more important than ever.

• Nightmare Mode and the Grim Reaper - Face 13 escalating Nightmares of 13 nights each, with accumulating modifiers and new threats, while collecting the souls of your victims to summon the Grim Reaper and unleash Death upon unfortunate visitors. 

• Creatures - Unleash supernatural inhabitants including the Imp, Gravetender, Webweaver, Drowner, Bloodletter and Krampus to terrorize humans alongside you.

• Curated Scenarios - Take on specially designed challenges offering entirely different haunted-house setups and situations.

• More Quality-of-Life Features and Controller Improvements - Numerous interface, building, sorting, navigation and controller systems have been refined through more than a year of updates and player feedback.

Seasonal updates also expanded the mansion with horrors such as the Pumpkin Patch, where stored attacks can be unleashed on unsuspecting visitors, and the Workshop, home to Krampus, who can turn the corpses of your victims into presents for the House.

What began as Deck of Haunts in May 2025 has grown into a considerably larger strategy roguelike, and console players will step directly into this expanded version when the doors open on October 8.

In Deck of Haunts, you don't enter the haunted house. You are the haunted house.

By day, construct your mansion, placing rooms and twisting corridors into a deadly labyrinth. Build your deck with cards designed to generate fear, inflict damage and manipulate the humans foolish enough to step inside. When night falls, visitors enter your domain, and the haunting begins.

Use supernatural cards to torment your guests, trigger traps, exploit their fears and drive them toward insanity or death. Drain their essence to fuel your growing power, but choose your victims and abilities carefully: investigators, priests and other dangerous visitors may have the means to fight back.

At the center of your mansion lies your Heart. Protect it at all costs. If the humans reach it and destroy it, your reign of terror comes to an end.

Expand your mansion, discover new cards, unlock increasingly powerful tools and refine your strategy across repeated runs. Every new room changes the paths humans can take, while different decks, creatures, upgrades, missions and game modes open new approaches to creating the perfect house of horrors.

This time, the haunted house gets to win.

“The Deck of Haunts launching on consoles is a very different game from the one we first released on PC last year,” says Philippe Mesotten of Mantis Games. “We’ve spent more than a year building the game based on player feedback; adding new ways to create your own haunted house, new creatures, new decks, new missions – even entire new game modes. We’re thrilled console players get to start with all of this from day one!”

Deck of Haunts launches for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on October 8, 2026. The game is currently available for PC via Steam.
