Indie studio Chasing Carrots has announced that Halls of Torment, the horde survival game inspired by Diablo and Vampire Survivors, is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox. Alongside the console release, the game’s first-ever paid expansion, The Boglands, will also launch on all platforms.
About Halls of Torment
Launched on PC to overwhelming praise, Halls of Torment has already secured more than 28,000 “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews on Steam, cementing its place as one of the most successful entries in the fast-growing survivor-like genre.
The game blends roguelike progression and addictive 30-minute runs with a 90s-inspired pre-rendered aesthetic.
