Hunt the Night is a retro-style action-adventure that combines fast, skilled gameplay with dark fantasy lore. It has been available for PC since 2003; at that time, consoles were not yet determined. The consoles appear to have been sorted out, now that the game’s developer and publisher have announced its launch for PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox in Q1 2026. Play as Vesper, a virtuous member of The Stalkers. Explore the world of Medhram, filled with ruins and countless horrors. Dungeons contain gruesome enemies and challenging bosses.
In the 9th Age of humanity, the day is ruled by humans, and the night by horrid creatures. With every new night comes the death of more humans. The Stalkers are a group who have discovered how to harness the power of darkness to their advantage. They fight the night, but it isn’t enough. The Seal of Night allowed them to change the cycle to everlasting day… but it required a blood oath that The Stalkers were happy to pay. After the sun ruled for hundreds of generations, fate came knocking once again, and The Stalkers paid the ultimate price. These days, the night devours every single glint of Light. Vesper, a Stalker by right and daughter of the traitor, travels the dying land trying to save the last embers of humanity. But the shadows are lengthening, both in the world and in her mind.
Hunt the Night’s key features, via its publisher, include:
- Engage in Fast-Paced Dynamic Combat — Dash through enemies while you unleash your combos, use your weapons or destroy them with your dark powers.

Learn their weak points, attack patterns and survive through the different combat phases as the battle gets more challenging and extreme.
