Moadra

Moadra is a dark science-fiction Metroidvania from Gloomsoft. It is set on the forgotten planet Protea VI, where bizarre organisms, deadly environmental hazards and traces of a civilization wiped out around 20,000 years ago collide. The focus is on exploration, demanding combat and the gradual development of Moadra's abilities.

Gloomsoft is releasing Moadra on Oct 22, 2026. Until now, only a release window for Q4 2026 was known. A playable PC demo is already available on Steam.

Confirmed are PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. Oct 22, 2026 has been announced as the release date for all four platforms.

Moadra focuses on fast movement and ranged combat. Rolling, dodging, jumps, wall jumps and sprints serve both exploration and survival against smaller organisms and large creatures. Weapons and special abilities are expanded over the course of the game and open up new tactical options.

On PC, Moadra requires at least Windows 10 or 11 64-bit, a quad-core processor, 4 GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 900 or comparable graphics card and 9 GB of free storage. Recommended are a Core i3-8100 or comparable processor, 8 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 970 with 4 GB VRAM or comparable hardware.

Protea VI is built as a large, interconnected world. Desert-like surfaces, frozen highlands and abandoned research facilities are linked together. A scanner bot and X-ray vision help you examine creatures and surroundings, reveal hidden paths and map areas you have already explored.

Defeated organisms leave behind protoplasm, a high-energy biomass. In organic chambers it can be used for metamorphoses that upgrade Moadra's abilities and weapons. The system ties combat rewards directly to long-term progress and access to new areas.

Gloomsoft develops and publishes Moadra itself. The studio positions the game as a non-linear single-player Metroidvania with a focus on science fiction, horror and exploration.
