Odd Bug Studio sharpens its claws and raises the portcullis on the next gritty chapter of its rodent grimdark action-RPG opus, set to launch later this year.
Odd Bug Studio and United Label have announced Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter, sequel to the critically acclaimed 2021 adventure-RPG. In Whiskers of Winter players take up the mantle of Arlo – son of the Warden of the North – following a brutal attack by the Dark Wings, a new fanged threat from the frozen wastelands beyond. Arriving on PC and consoles later in 2024, the game includes a rich and deep campaign set across the northern realms of the Ratdom, features new gameplay mechanics, and heightens the series' trademark visceral and violent combat between rat and foe.
Set after the bloody conclusion of the original, Whiskers of Winter sees Arlo embark on a violent quest of ruthless revenge against the Dark Wings' onslaught, while introducing new fearsome monster-hunting sidequests against gigantic beasts. The young rat can also imbue his weapons with a range of new elemental effects and abilities, helping him slaughter foes standing in his way. Enhanced settlement mechanics allows Arlo to rebuild the Rats' northern garrison of Winter's Edge, while its new protector explores new and distinct areas of the frontier home to a cast of critters, some to ally with... others to vanquish.
Odd Bug Studio has also confirmed that multi-award-winning voice actor, Doug Cockle (The Witcher 3, Baldur's Gate 3, Alan Wake 2) returns to the world of Tails of Iron to provide his immediately distinct gruff and foreboding tones to Arlo's bloody crusade of retribution.
Tails of Iron 2: Whispers of Winter features:
"We are delighted to finally announce our return to Ratdom with Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter, and start a new 'tail' of bloodshed and medieval revenge. We wanted to build upon what we achieved with the first instalment and create a game that was more than just a straightforward sequel," said Jack Bennett, Co-founder and Lead Designer, Odd Bug Studio. "We took on board the incredible community feedback on the original game and set about crafting a more intense experience than its predecessor. The new gameplay mechanics, the addition of monster hunting sidequests, together with improved crafting and base building, all work together to make Arlo's crusade in the northern wastelands even more epic than King Redgi's."
"It's very exciting for us to watch Odd Bug Studio craft a tremendous sequel to their astounding original Tails of Iron. We're so proud and honoured to partner with Jack and the team once again for Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter," said Darren Newnham, CEO, United Label. "This new game takes the violent lore of the first game to grander levels to push the premium indie envelope."
