Lair of the Leviathan Reveals an Old-School Turn-Based RPG for PC and Consoles
Deck13 has revealed Lair of the Leviathan, an old-school RPG from NostalgicRealms and Whiskybarrel. The announcement targets a 2027 release on PC and consoles, introducing a handcrafted world built around party-based adventure and turn-based combat.
Inspired by Classic Role-Playing Adventures
The project draws inspiration from Ultima, Pools of Radiance and the early Baldur’s Gate games. Its approach places a party of adventurers at the center of exploration and tactical encounters, with a handcrafted setting to discover along the way.
A Collaboration Between Independent Creators
Lair of the Leviathan brings together the solo developers behind NostalgicRealms and Whiskybarrel, with Deck13 publishing. It was revealed alongside Drova II: Torn Lands, and its announcement features artwork by Matt Stawicki.
What Comes Next
The announcement identifies PC and consoles as the planned destinations and 2027 as the release target. Specific console platforms and a firm release date have not yet been announced.
Players interested in its classic RPG direction can look for Lair of the Leviathan on Steam and GOG to follow development and wishlist the game.
Game on!
