United Label (@UtdLabelGames) and Odd Bug Studio revealed that action-RPG Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter will launch on January 28th for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Developed by UK indie outfit Odd Bug Studio, the sequel builds upon its critically acclaimed 2021 predecessor with a range of new gameplay mechanics and an enriched version of its trademark brutal combat. As well as new, giant beast-hunt sidequests and an expanded campaign, Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter includes the introduction of tactical traps and godlike ‘Elementa’ spellcasting, deepening moment-to-moment gameplay with increased combat options.

Game Features:

• Explore a vast, wintry kingdom: Fully narrated by RPG legend Doug Cockle (The Witcher franchise, Alan Wake 2, Baldur’s Gate 3) prepare to embark on an epic adventure across the northern realm and biomes of the Ratdom; an expansive, frost-bitten land on the brink of all-out war.
  
  
• Hunt down giant beasts: Track down and defeat 15 legendary beasts of the Ratdom’s northern frontier and be rewarded with rare resources with which to craft devastating equipment. But be warned, these colossal creatures won’t go down without a fight… and then some.
  
  
• Unleash the power of gods: Unlock the power of the four deities and unleash their powerful ‘Elementa’ spells in combat; harness the magics of fire, poison, ice, and electric upon the damned malevolent Dark Wings!
  
  
• Master challenging combat: Face down the Dark Wing threat in deadly battles; let the devilish bats taste steel of blade and spear, or attack at range with bolts and arrows… and set elemental traps against these marauding foes (and adjust the difficulty at any point if it’s getting *too* much of a challenge – we won’t judge!)
  
  
• Improved basebuilding: Construct and upgrade the devastated Rat fortress of Winter’s Edge to gain access to more powerful items from the smithy, tastier meals at the kitchen, a wider range of powerful traps from the shoppe, and more!
  
  

Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter will be available in digital Standard and Deluxe versions. In addition to the base game, those buying the Deluxe version will receive two DLC packs (which will also be available to purchase separately): The ‘Augur of the Draugr’ set that includes the legendary Draugr armour of old, and the ‘Hair to the Throne’ cosmetic pack, which features an exclusive collection of beards and hairstyles to strike fear into Arlo’s adversaries. The PC Deluxe version also includes the game’s digital artbook and official soundtrack.

Tails of Iron 2 will be available for Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC on January 28, 2025. The game is available to pre-order now for $19.99 USD.
