<\/a>Queen\u2019s Domain official promotional artwork.<\/p>\n

Queen\u2019s Domain is live on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2. See what the King\u2019s Field-inspired action RPG offers, from stamina combat to Holy Sword flight.<\/p>\n

Developer Freshly Baked Games and publisher Future Friends Games released the retro fantasy first-person action RPG Queen\u2019s Domain on October 30, 2026. The game is available on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, and it is single-player only. On Steam it costs $19.99, with a 15% launch discount running through launch week. The game takes inspiration from King\u2019s Field, FromSoftware\u2019s earliest series. The developer describes its look as a lovingly crafted retro fantasy aesthetic. <\/p>\n

Isle of Neasied story<\/p>\n

Players wash ashore on the Isle of Neasied and set out to find their father, who disappeared on the island. The setting is an interconnected, labyrinthine world where secrets and dangers wait around every corner. Sinister forces are gathering across the isle, and the sleeping Queen has begun to stir. The developer says most players will get at least 40 hours out of the game. <\/p>\n

Combat and progression<\/p>\n

Combat is built around a classic stamina meter, powerful charge attacks, weapon-specific special attacks, and secondary throwing weapons. Players can find, equip, and upgrade more than 50 melee weapons, while more than 20 types of throwing weapons support different strategies. Experience points go toward leveling up, and eating food raises stats further. The island holds more than 100 enemies, mini-bosses, and bosses.<\/p>\n

\tHoly Sword traversal<\/p>\n

Traversal centers on the Legendary Holy Sword Endu, which lets players fly from platform to platform and across gaps. Upgrades let the sword carry players farther. <\/p>\n

Steam Deck, demo and background<\/p>\n

Queen\u2019s Domain is verified for both Steam Deck and Steam Machine, according to the developer\u2019s Steam announcement. A free demo has been on Steam since December 4, 2025, and it holds a Very Positive rating from more than 850 user reviews. It covers the opening area, a first dungeon, and a boss fight, taking about an hour for most players. The official soundtrack is available at launch, with a game-and-soundtrack bundle on Steam.<\/p>\n
