The upcoming game Erosion, developed by Plot Twist and published by Lyrical Games, is a twin-stick roguelike set in a post-apocalyptic wild west. Set to enter early access in spring 2026 on PC and Xbox, Erosion brings a shift from the 2D visuals and Lovecraftian story of The Last Case of Benedict Fox. With chaotic, destructible environments and engaging gameplay features such as a poker mini-game, customizable vehicles, and boss fights, players navigate a world where a sentient rock formation called the Pillar threatens civilization. Every death in Erosion causes time to pass, aging characters and upping the stakes as players fight to save the protagonist's daughter.

What unique gameplay mechanics does Erosion offer?

Erosion features destructible voxel environments, a poker mini-game, customizable vehicles, and a unique time passage mechanic where deaths age characters, creating a high-stakes atmosphere for the player as they navigate chaotic dungeons and engage in combat.

Erosion marks a new direction for Plot Twist, known for their previous work on The Last Case of Benedict Fox, a game that received mixed reviews. Unlike its predecessor's Metroidvania style, Erosion combines fast-paced action and strategic gameplay, aiming to deliver an exciting experience in a vast, immersive world filled with challenges and character development.
