Wild West Soulslike Game Tombwater Reveals Release Date [EXCLUSIVE]

Game Rant has the exclusive news that “Tombwater”, a 2D Western-style Soulslike RPG from developers Moth Atlas and Midwest Games, is set to debut on Steam this coming Wednesday, November 12th. Excited fans can get an early taste of the game by downloading the free demo on Steam and battling a formidable boss before its official launch in November.

In late 2024 and then at the Best Indie Games Summer Showcase in June 2025, the game titled “Tombwater” was unveiled. The narrative unfolds from the point of view of a solitary gunslinger. Players have the option to employ firearms, potions, and magical spells to battle Eldritch creatures and unravel the mystery surrounding the fate of the town named in the title. Drawing inspiration from both the The Legend of Zelda and Red Dead Redemption series, Tombwater is being developed by Max Mraz and Jag Wagner, hailing from Moth Atlas studio located in Columbus, Ohio. Notably, Max Mraz’s prior work includes a reimagined version of Bloodborne called Yarntown, which is believed to serve as a precursor to Tombwater.

Tombwater Confirms November 12 Release Date With New Trailer

September 2 saw Midwest Games unveil a fresh trailer, featuring the upcoming release date of “Tombwater” – a date we’re now exclusively sharing: November 12.

In Soulslike games like Hollow Knight, the combat is notoriously tough, demanding players to learn from their repeated defeats. Unlike many Soulslike titles, Tombwater adopts a top-down 2D perspective, which isn’t usual for this genre. Armed with numerous close-range weapons and magical spells, players of Tombwater will need to employ both strategic thinking and their arsenal of tools to overcome the game’s more than twenty boss fights. Players can monitor their progress using a map and quest log, and they can make use of apothecary crafting to create potions and explosives that might aid them in battle.

In November, you’ll find the release of “Tombwater” coinciding with titles such as “Lumines Arise” and “Call of Duty: Black Ops 7”. If you’re a fan seeking a fresh take on the Soulslike gameplay genre, it would be a miss not to explore “Tombwater” this autumn.
