| Iratus 4rth Anniversary | 2024-04-23 | Hello, necromancers! Today Iratus: Lord of the Dead turns four 🎉 Birthdays are usually the time when we turn our inner gaze backwards. We decided to turn our gaze to one of the studio's veterans: Alexander, The Art Director. We asked him what he thinks about Iratus four years after its release: Inspiration and Ideas A: The overarching conceptual reference is Darkest Dungeon, but we didn't reference it directly. Our emphasis was on classic dark fantasy, intersecting in some ways with the Diablo game series or Grimdark in the spirit of the Warhammer universe. We also wanted to give the visual direction some charm of originality, reminiscent of |
| 2023 in Review | 2023-12-29 | 2023 was a pivotal year for Unfrozen. We've done a lot — and you'll start seeing the results next year. ːiratus_medallionː Growth and Expansion This year, we welcomed more talented professionals to the studio. That makes us 50+ strong now, working remotely from all over the world — a far cry from the small indie team we started as! More people means more hands to create bigger and more ambitious games, as well as more expertise to ensure their quality. We mentioned already that we have two projects in the works — and one of them boasts a significantly larger scope than Iratus. Which means more awesome games for you! ːsteamthumbsupː Big, Big P |

| Developers Answer Fan Questions about Iratus Lore | 2023-11-03 | Greetings, dear necromancers! Iratus is not just about mechanics. Over the years, we were amazed how some of you scrutinized the lore behind the game, developing theories, sharing ideas, thinking about characters, and making guesses about the world's structure and history. We want to introduce you to one of the most dedicated fans and content creators of Iratus: Meet Fableheim! Fableheim has been making videos about Iratus almost since its release. During this time, he accumulated a lot of questions about the game’s lore, and we decided to select some of them and lift the veil of secrecy — especially since we are now developing the lore deepe |
| Double the Fun, Double the Evil | 2023-09-18 | Hello Necromancers, Or maybe… more than just necromancers? You’re probably wondering why we went silent for a while. And that is because making games takes time. Since the release of Iratus, we’ve been working steadily to bring you more fun and more evil — but we want to have well-rounded projects on our hands before we announce them. Hence the lull in publicity. And yes, you heard that right — projects. We are currently working on two games! One of them is likely what you’re expecting — the Iratus universe is expanding (but even that comes with a twist). The other is bigger, more ambitious, and might come as a surprise. It’s a PC-centered tu |

| The Iratus ascent is one year long! | 2021-04-23 | Today, April 23rd, is exactly one year since the full release of Iratus: Lord of the Dead! We are very grateful for your support and active feedback throughout the development and all this year! We hope you spent unforgettable hours in the dungeons in company with Iratus. ːhunky_skullː We have prepared a promo video for you with the very first prototype of the game in the old graphic design, from which it all began in the now distant 2017. This video has never been published before, and reflects the earliest concept of gameplay and graphics. Not all of our ideas were eventually embodied in reality, but it seems that the end result was worth t |
| Meet the new minion — the Werewolf! | 2021-04-21 | Hello necromancers! Long time no see. ːcursed_eyeː In a couple of days it will be a year since the release of the full version of the Iratus: Lord of the Dead.

His blueprint will be available immediately, you'll only need to craft it with parts. Meet the Werewolf. Simple and reliable attacker. The guards of the underground prison used to hound prisoners for fun. It was particularly fashionable to bet on which of the poor souls would be torn apart first by the raging wardogs. |

Thank you! ːfaithful_heartː |
