Thunderful, the noted publisher behind celebrated indie titles, has officially released its first developer diary for 'Lost In Random: The Eternal Die,' the upcoming rogue-lite action game set to launch on Nintendo Switch in Summer 2025 via the Nintendo eShop.
Developed by Stormteller Games (formerly known as Thunderful Gothenburg), this next chapter in the acclaimed Lost In Random universe continues the series’ tradition of dark fantasy storytelling with new genre twists and expanded gameplay mechanics.
Game director Martin Storm provides an inside look at the title’s roguelike systems, highlighting features such as the relic system, diverse cast of characters, and the strategic interplay between real-time combat and card-based abilities.
Storm emphasized that crafting this chapter meant deepening player agency and replayability: “Our team wanted every run to feel distinct, not only through randomized worlds but by enabling players to discover their own powerful synergies out of more than a hundred relics.”
Taking place after the events of the original Lost In Random, 'The Eternal Die' casts players as Aleksandra—once known as The Queen—and her trusty companion Fortune, both trapped inside the enigmatic Black Die by the formidable Mare the Knight.
To escape their randomly generated prison, players must defeat monstrous pawns and navigate larger-than-life board game arenas, combining tactical choices with real-time action.
Success in these challenges rewards players with treasures and tools vital for confronting Aleksandra’s new tormentor, reinforcing the game’s core theme: where wit, luck, and skill determine survival.
Key gameplay features include:
- Mastery Meets Chance: Fast-paced combat merges split-second decisions with strategic card mechanics, while luck remains an ever-present influence via the iconic die companion.
- Forge Your Playstyle: Four unique weapons and over 100 collectible relics can be fused for varied, devastating effects.
The innovative card system allows players to build custom strategies tailored to their evolving playstyles.
- Ever-Changing World: Players will explore four randomly generated worlds, each filled with unique secrets, over 30 enemy archetypes, and challenging bosses, ensuring no two runs are the same.
- A Dark Fantasy Tale: The narrative unfolds through fully voiced characters, immersing players in a Tim Burton-inspired world filled with gothic visuals and an evocative score.
Scheduled for release exclusively as a digital title on the Nintendo Switch eShop in Summer 2025, 'Lost In Random: The Eternal Die' aims to appeal to fans of both the original adventure and newcomers seeking a rich, replayable action experience on Nintendo’s hybrid console.
By fusing procedural generation, narrative depth, and tactile combat, Thunderful and Stormteller Games look set to expand the imaginative universe of Lost In Random while leveraging the versatility of Nintendo Switch hardware.
