9th Dawn Remake: Co-Op Play and Companion Novel
9th Dawn Remake and its companion novel The Book of Nameless are launching today on Steam.
Play with a friend with online co-op or 2-player local co-op. Explore and do battle in first-person for the first time, go (hardcore) fishing, revisit favorite locations, raise pets to fight alongside you, enjoy a deck-building card game… The sky’s the limit!
The Book of Nameless – a 170-page work by author L.R. Gaunt – is now available as paid DLC or bundled with the game at a discount. Set 100 years before the events of 9th Dawn, the book takes readers alongside Fen Greenbelt and Rena the Teamaster as they battle dragons, goblins, and unknown forces to save the kingdom of Montelorne. Keep your eyes peeled for some never-before-seen storylines …

More Than a New Coat of Paint
Like the original game, 9th Dawn Remake is a truly massive open world RPG – where dedicated (and curious!) players can spend 200+ hours completing the main and side quests, collecting rare loot, and raising monster pets. Bursting at the seams with dungeon-crawling hijinks, 9th Dawn Remake lovingly riffs on the original 9th Dawn game – revamping the combat and streamlining quests to deliver a novel, exhilarating 9th Dawn experience. The game has also been localized into French, Spanish, German, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Brazilian Portuguese!

Fishing Survivors also features a number of different missions that are locked behind overworld map exploration – along with a couple of extra worm warriors to unlock.
