Dungeons of Hinterberg was on hand at the recent Xbox Partner Preview where they showed off some of the games social aspects, which take place in a new adventuring town in the Austrian Alps, check it out.

In Dungeons of Hinterberg, you play as Luisa, who is seeking adventure away from her hectic life in the city and has decided to travel to the Alps to conquer the 25 Dungeons of Hinterberg. The game is an action RPG blended with social sim elements, and a typical day for Luisa consists of exploring the biomes and dungeons surrounding Hinterberg before returning to the village in the evening for some “Après-Slay” socialising. Both aspects are intertwined and shape your progression throughout the game.

You will begin each day at your guest house in the heart of Hinterberg. From here, you will decide which biome to visit for the day — each environment is unique and presents different magic skills to master, along with unique dungeons and challenges.

Once you’ve made your way to your chosen biome, your first goal will likely be to find a dungeon to tackle. If you’re up for a challenge, you may be trying for the coveted “25 dungeons in 25 days” challenge; or want to spend your “slaycation” at a slower pace, enjoying some quieter moments.

Of course, being social is all what the new trailer was about and that is perfect as there are plenty of folks to get to know, from the locals who call the town home and those coming to visit. As you get to know both the locals and visitors, you will learn more about them and their lives, and gain insight into what’s happening in the village of Hinterberg (although things aren’t always what they seem). Even more important, however, is who you choose to befriend.

Each evening, you can decide to spend quality time with one person. If you successfully deepen your relationship, you will be rewarded. For example, friends might give you a valuable item, teach you a new skill, or share important information.

The game is coming in 2024 to PC and Xbox Series X|S, with it launching day one into Game Pass as well.
