Publisher Headup and developers Simon Jakobsson and Aurora Punks have announced that Vessels of Decay, a pixel art post-apocalyptic action adventure, will launch on June 19 for PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X|S, Switch, and PC via Steam and GOG.

Set in a world where civilization has collapsed and nature has reclaimed its space, Vessels of Decay follows Freja and her companion Mud as they navigate haunting landscapes and battle mythic beasts rooted in Scandinavian folklore. Players will explore a meticulously handcrafted world where decay and regrowth intertwine, from crumbling ruins to the resurgence of ancient creatures.
Combat is fast-paced and stylish, with a dynamic system that rewards timing and strategy. Unique finishers allow for dramatic takedowns, while multi-stage boss encounters test players’ reflexes and creativity. With music by Dominic Ninmark and a setting that blends reflective melancholy with gritty action, Vessels of Decay aims to offer a fresh take on classic 2D adventures.
