Former developers from Epic Games, EA, Bioware, Codemasters, and Disney have announced Cloudheim. This new multiplayer action RPG blends crafting, physics-driven combat, and co-op exploration. Developed by Noodle Cat Games, the studio’s debut title is set to launch in Q3 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
A Unique Blend of Action, Crafting, and Chaos
Set in a Norse-inspired fantasy world, Cloudheim combines fast-paced ARPG combat with deep crafting mechanics. Players will explore diverse islands and battle powerful enemies. Their flying base, Odin Shell, is a massive ancient turtle that serves as their home and hub.
The game features fully destructible environments, where you can use physics to your advantage, taking down enemies with collapsing pillars, tornadoes, and even cannon-launched creatures. It supports solo play and up to four-player online co-op, letting you team up with friends to share weapons, abilities, and discoveries.
Gameplay Features
- Physics-Based Combat: Chain devastating team combos and use the environment to take down enemies creatively.
- Co-op Multiplayer: Play solo or join up to three friends, sharing progress and abilities.
- Dynamic Crafting System: Forge weapons, gear, and abilities in real time, without menu interruptions.
- Odin Shell Flying Base: Customize and expand a floating fortress, unlock new facilities, and manage a shop.

Studio founder David Hunt describes the game as an experiment in combining fighting-game juggling mechanics with a co-op action RPG.
