Game Rant is privileged to bring you an exclusive sneak peek at a new developer’s diary for the upcoming game, “Lost in Random: The Eternal Die.” This behind-the-scenes glimpse offers insights into various elements of the game, such as the unusual character selection. As we approach summer, this early reveal of “Lost in Random: The Eternal Die” provides a tantalizing taste of what’s to come.

Originally released in 2021, the game “Lost in Random” stood out due to its distinctive mix of combat using dice, deck-building mechanics, and aesthetics that echoed a Tim Burton film. In August 2024, news broke about its sequel, titled “The Eternal Die“, which is expected to launch sometime in 2025.

With the approaching launch of “The Eternal Die,” Stormteller Games has unveiled a fresh developer diary, and Game Rant is privileged to present exclusive insights from it. In this three-minute video, Oskar Hanska, the narrative designer and author of the upcoming game, offers enlightening perspectives on various aspects of “The Eternal Die.” During the interview, Hanska highlights one intriguing aspect: the selection of an unconventional protagonist. Reflecting on their creative process, Hanska mentions that they deliberately decided early on not to make “The Eternal Die” a sequel to “Lost in Random,” which eventually guided them towards choosing Aleksandra as the game’s central figure.

The Eternal Die’s Protagonist Was Lost in Random’s Antagonist

In the initial game of Lost in Random, Aleksandra, famously known as the Queen of Chance, served as the primary adversary. Considering that the second installment is moving towards a roguelite action genre, Stormteller deemed it appropriate to reposition Aleksandra as the new protagonist. Hanska affirmed that the exceptional and captivating voice acting which characterized the original game would persist in the sequel, all while commending Elsie Lovelock for her impressive portrayal of Aleksandra. “She truly embodied the role,” said the narrative designer. Stormteller’s recent developer diary also features snippets of several impactful voice lines from Lost in Random: The Eternal Die.

The sequel to “Lost in Random” doesn’t have an exact launch date yet, but publisher Thunderful has set a tentative summer 2025 timeline for the game. This upcoming roguelite is currently being developed for platforms including Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Additionally, “Lost in Random: The Eternal Die” is planned to be available on Xbox Game Pass on the first day of its release.

One of the things we did early on was that we decided on this game not being Lost in Random 2.

Since mid-February 2025, players using Steam and Xbox have had the chance to test out The Eternal Die‘s demo. The trial version of this game has garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback on Steam, boasting a “Very Positive” rating. Similarly, on the Xbox Store, it currently holds a 4.4-star player rating.
