Arise Demon Hunter. It is time. The years you spent slaughtering demon-kind in the mortal world did little to cleanse your soul. Your sins have been laid bare and you have been judged. You are damned for eternity. The pit awaits!

Inspired by the fast-paced FPS games of the 1990s, Demon Pit is an intense arcade-style arena shooter. Armed with a series of ranged weapons and a soul grapple, you must fight and out maneuver endless waves of demons in a constantly changing environment. How long can you survive before they rip your flesh and claim your soul?

Your goal is a high score on the leaderboard, the price is your soul. Far from God’s light, there is only Hell.

Players will be able to start purging the legions of hellspawn from 17/18 December (NA/EU respectively) on PS4, 24 December on Xbox One, and 25 December on Nintendo Switch.

"Creating Demon Pit has been an exercise in balancing speed, challenge, purity and chaos," explains DoomCube's Paul Conway, artist and designer on Demon Pit. "I want players to fight forward, experiencing its unrelenting pace as they progress through waves of enemies and grasp for their place on the leaderboard."

A demo for Demon Pit is available to download now for free from Steam.
