Deck of Haunts Hits Consoles October 8

Ready to build a deck that bites back? Deck of Haunts officially lands on consoles October 8, and it's bringing its roguelike deckbuilding scares to a whole lot of platforms.

According to the source, the game will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, Xbox One, and Switch. That's a wide spread, so whether you're on the newest hardware or still rocking last-gen, you should be able to jump in.

If you haven't been following Deck of Haunts, the genre tag tells you a lot. Roguelike deckbuilders mix run-based progression with card-driven combat, so every attempt plays out a little differently. You build, you adapt, and you probably lose a few times before things click. The "haunts" angle suggests a spooky flavor on top of that loop, though the source doesn't detail specific mechanics or modes.

What we do know is the release date: October 8. That's the anchor here. No word yet on pricing, preorder bonuses, or platform-specific features, so keep expectations grounded until the developers share more.

The platform lineup is worth noting. Switch 2 is on the list alongside the original Switch, which means the game is targeting both Nintendo generations. Xbox One is also included, so this isn't a current-gen-only release. That's good news if you haven't upgraded yet.

For roguelike deckbuilder fans, October 8 is one to circle. These games live and die by their card variety and run-to-run replayability, and we'll know more about how Deck of Haunts handles that as launch gets closer.

Will you be picking it up on day one, or waiting for reviews? Let us know which platform you're planning to play on.
