Retro-Inspired RPG Crytals Of Irm Gets A New Release Date

Crystals of Irm, Deck13

Solo developer David Schutze and indie publisher Deck13 have announced that the upcoming old-school RPG Crystals of Irm will be released on January 21st, 2027, across PC, PS4, PS5, XBOX Series, and Nintendo Switch.

Check out the new Crystals of Irm Release Date Announcement trailer below.

“Today, only legends surround the crystals of Irm. The red crystal of the mountains – once the fire of the great forge. The blue crystal – once the symbol of the knowledge of the eternal academy. And the green crystal – once the patron saint of the endless forests. They have all disappeared from the world for too long. But there is a legend which tells that they shall be reunited. So maybe they aren’t lost forever…”

Crystals of Irm is a retro-inspired RPG that blends classic dungeon-crawler and CRPG elements with modern sensibilities and a unique combat system that keeps players engaged through each grid-based battle. Lead your party of three heroes across the land of Irm to find the Crystals and fulfill the prophecy; level up to unlock new skills, buy or find better gear to equip, take on side quests, and search for secrets in the darkest corners of the dankest dungeons.

A demo for Crystals of Irm, which has also received a hefty update today alongside the news, is available to download on PC via Steam and was highlighted in our September issue of the GSC Demo Disc.

Crystals of Irm was originally planned to release on November 5th, but after Nintendo revealed that the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time would be released on the same day, David and Deck13 made the difficult decision to delay the game into early 2027. Hopefully, this will give Crystals of Irm a better chance of finding its audience and success.

Crystals of Irm releases on January 21st across PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
