Halls of Torment gets release date for console port
Halls of Torment is slated for release on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on October 23, 2025, followed by its first paid DLC, Boglands, and the massive free Bardcore update arriving on October 28, 2025.
Developed and published by Chasing Carrots, the game was initially released on September 24, 2024, for Windows and Linux PCs and later received a mobile port developed by Erabit Studios for both Android and iOS platforms on October 10, 2024.
The Boglands expansion for Halls of Torment is set to bring a new stage, two new heroes, six new artifacts, and over 50 new quests, along with new abilities and gear, while the free Bardcore update will introduce manual level-ups, over 20 new quests, three metal music tracks with music selection per stage, six new endgame artifacts, and the new character, Bard, powered with six new abilities.
In this roguelite bullet hell dark fantasy title, the character controlled by the player descends into the Halls of Torment and must survive combat against waves of enemies in a 30-minute run. The game offers six levels to choose from, each with unique environments that range from open spaces to a long bridge with enemies on either side. At the beginning of each run, players can select from a roster of 11 characters (the base version of the game before Bardcore update), each with distinct weapons and abilities, initially starting as the Swordsman and unlocking other characters throughout the course of play.
