Prodeus will leave Early Access and launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam on September 23, publisher Humble Games and developer Bounding Box Software announced. It will also be available via Xbox Game Pass.
(Update 09/21/22 at 1:32 p.m.: The Switch version has been slightly delayed “in order to squash a gnarly visual bug.” A new release date has not been announced.)
Here is an overview of the game, via Humble Games:
About
Prodeus is a first-person shooter of old, re-imagined using modern rendering techniques and technology. Experience the quality you’d expect from a modern AAA game, designed with retro aesthetics and gameplay that invoke the tech-imposed limits of older hardware.
The game features a hand-crafted campaign from industry first-person shooter veterans, co-op and competitive multiplayer play drawing on classic modes, a fully integrated level editor* and a built-in community map browser for instantaneous action with nearly limitless levels to play.
Get ready to paint the walls red. This is the Boomer Shooter you’ve been waiting for.
Key Features
- Retro Look, Modern Era – Shooters past and present collide with graphics that combine today’s high-quality 3D tech with retro visuals. Experience over-the-top explosions of lo-fi pixels and hi-tech particle effects as you clash against the Prodeans and forces of Chaos.

- Multiplayer Mayhem – Team up and go head-to-head in a variety of multiplayer modes. Take on the campaign in four-player co-op, and dive into the fray in 16-player Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, CTF, and more—then take things to the next level by creating and sharing custom game modes.
- Frag to the Music – Burst blood vessels listening to a supercharged metal soundtrack by retro first-person shooter composer Andrew Hulshult (DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods, DUSK, Amid Evil) that dynamically changes gears to accompany your actions.
