Here you can watch the announcement trailer for 33 Immortals:
What kind of game is it? In the action roguelike “33 Immortals,” you dive into the epic chaos with a group of up to 33 players. As a brave, damned soul, you defy the ultimate judgment of God and take on the fight for immortality.
“33 Immortals” draws its inspiration from Dante’s masterpiece “The Divine Comedy,” which describes the abysses of hell, the purification in purgatory, and finally the rays of paradise.
Together with other brave souls, you must confront hordes of monsters and defeat colossal bosses. The game is supported by its “pick-up and raid” matchmaking system, allowing you to jump straight into battle. At the beginning, you start a raid with 33 players, but in the end, only one might survive.
With randomly generated enemies, challenges, and rewards, each run of the roguelike is unique. You can expand your arsenal of weapons by acquiring new equipment and enhance your strength with perks.
You also have the option to customize your character with cosmetics according to your preferences.
Raids like in MMORPGs – but without the planning and stress
What did Nicola Godin say? During the Xbox stream of Gamescom 2023, Nicola Godin, the producer of the game, enthusiastically shared his vision for “33 Immortals.” He vividly emphasized how the game was meticulously designed to allow players to dive directly into the battles – without long wait times:
Normally, you need to form a large group for a raid and plan a lot to solve it. […] We want to try to change the atmosphere with 33 Immortals and realize a new vision.[…] It will be a seamless experience.

Players can join alone or with others, such as friends. However, it somewhat mimics the combat systems and group functions of the genre, albeit with an optimized structure that fits better with the roguelike gameplay.
Nicola Godin states:
Each player equips a weapon, and this weapon defines the role. We use four different roles: tank, support, ranged, and melee. An example is the Bow of Hope. With this in hand, you can deal damage from a distance.
On the other hand, we have the Sword of Justice, which not only deals great damage but also offers a special attack that puts you in a protective role, which corresponds more to a tank role. Our weapons are designed to cover all roles.[…]

All these elements aim to create versatile and exciting gameplay combinations.
When is the release of 33 Immortals? The co-op game is set to be released in 2024 in early access and will be available for the Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PC, and with Xbox Game Pass for console and PC.
