Slasher roguelite HOTEL BARCELONA from SWERY and SUDA51, is out now

The creators of Deadly Premonition, No More Heroes, and Lollipop Chainsaw invite you to a vacation from hell in their hack 'n' slash roguelite. Fight serial killers and uncover a trippy narrative unlike any other - but don't lose grip on reality…

From legendary Japanese game directors SWERY (Deadly Premonition) and SUDA51 (No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw), HOTEL BARCELONA - a surreal, blood-soaked roguelite set inside a twisted hotel overtaken by serial killers - is OUT NOW. Fight, die, repeat, and maybe - just maybe - figure out a way to exorcise the murderous, bloodthirsty entity possessing your mind. Check in on Steam, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. Check out? Never.



Hidetaka "SWERY" Suehiro, game director, says:

"When I first announced HOTEL BARCELONA in 2019, it may have sounded like a joke. But jokes can take on a life of their own. After six years - working with my companions at White Owls Inc and inspired by Goichi Suda's outrageous concept - what remains is the scent of blood, a crooked laugh, and a beautiful nightmare.

I feel this is not a game I wanted to make, but one I had to make. It is the chemical reaction of two mad geniuses colliding. I hope you enjoy the result."

CHECK IN, WIPE 'EM OUT! In HOTEL BARCELONA, play as Justine, a federal marshal investigating a mysterious hotel when an ancient evil, known only as Dr. Carnival, imbues her with incredible power. Learning the hotel has been taken over by America's most dangerous serial killers, slaughter your way through a bizarro vacation complex inspired by classic horror movie subgenres and try to escape with answers. Who are the Seven Slasher Killers? What, exactly, does Dr. Carnival want? Why is the bartender so obsessed with ears, and does room service at this place really offer "bondage"…?

So fight, die, and die again in this re-invented roguelite brought to psychedelic life by the creative geniuses behind iconic Japanese hits like Chainsaw Man, Deadly Premonition, and Persona. Kill AND be killed as your every execution makes you stronger, while ghosts mimicking your actions from failed attempts to overthrow the hotel (and you will fail. A lot) return to assist you in combat. Even your friends can join the bloodbath and help you overcome gnarly opponents with PvE multiplayer for up to 3 players - though perhaps you'd rather invade their game and undo all of their progress instead? We welcome both masochists and psychopaths at this hotel.

HOTEL BARCELONA is available now on Steam, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. Please, enjoy your stay. Just try to ignore the screaming.
