Hilltop Studios Announces 'Curse of Resthaven' for 2026 Multi-Platform Release

The project marks a sharp tonal shift from Lil' Guardsman to a gothic, narrative-driven roguelike.

Overview

  • The Toronto developer unveiled its second game following 2024's award-winning Lil' Guardsman.
  • Players take on the role of a newly appointed governor trapped in a seven-day time loop while searching for a missing niece and managing an island colony.
  • Confirmed systems include interrogating fully voiced NPCs, upgrading businesses, trading with merchants, and building a deck of resource and companion cards.
  • Hilltop plans to launch on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mac later in 2026, with a specific date still unannounced.
  • Digital Bandidos will publish the hand-drawn title, which features 25 voiced characters and an original score by studio director Scott Christian.
