Halls of Torment Brings the Horror to Consoles

The survivor-like phenomenon Halls of Torment is expanding its reign of chaos. After selling over one million copies on PC and amassing more than 28,000 ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ reviews on Steam, developer Chasing Carrots has announced that the Diablo-meets-Vampire Survivors hit is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox.

Alongside the console launch, the team is rolling out the game’s first-ever paid expansion, The Boglands, introducing a swampy new stage, fresh mechanics, and deadly new heroes to master.

About Halls of Torment

If you’ve somehow missed it, Halls of Torment is a horde survival game with a gritty, pre-rendered aesthetic that feels ripped straight from the late ’90s. Players descend into the cursed halls, battling endless waves of grotesque creatures, leveling up with traits, abilities, and gear while trying to withstand 30-minute runs packed with roguelike progression and relentless tension.

It’s one of the most acclaimed survivor-likes on Steam for a reason—blending old-school atmosphere with modern, addictive gameplay loops.

Key Features:

• 30-minute survival runs with roguelike progression

• A cast of heroes with unique traits and abilities

• Endless builds with items, blessings, and artifacts

• Challenging bosses and labyrinthine levels to explore

• Distinctive pre-rendered art inspired by classic ’90s RPGs

And thanks to the free Bardcore update, players can now wield six new abilities, equip six endgame artifacts, and try out the long-awaited Bard class—complete with metal tracks and manual level-ups.

Enter The Boglands

Beyond the cursed halls lies a festering swamp where death doesn’t always stick. The Boglands expansion introduces a grim new frontier packed with twisted plant life, drowned spirits, and enemies that rot the flesh and crack the armor of even the strongest adventurers.

What’s New in the DLC:

• A new stage: Fight through a swamp where time is no longer the enemy—only survival matters.

• Two new heroes:

  • The Crone — summons plant life to ensnare and decay foes.

  • The Alchemist — masters volatile elemental mixtures (fire, ice, lightning, or earth).

• 50+ new quests with unique rewards.

• New abilities & gear to expand build variety.

• Decay mechanic & Earth element, adding fresh layers of strategy.

• 6 new artifacts to customize runs with risk/reward modifiers.

• More blessings, traits, and ways to die.

The Boglands DLC will be available for purchase on both PC and consoles at launch.

With its jump to consoles and its first major expansion, Halls of Torment is leveling up once again—offering longtime fans and newcomers alike even more reasons to dive into its nightmarish depths.
