Release Date and Gameplay Features

Scheduled for release in Q3 2025, Cloudheim will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Players can expect a blend of physics-based combat, exploration, looting, and base-building mechanics set in a visually stunning Norse-inspired world.

Innovative Development Philosophy

David Hunt, the CEO and Founder of Noodle Cat Games, shares insight into the game’s creation: “Cloudheim blends the exceptional talent of a veteran team with an experimental, iterative development process informed by science and modern psychology. Each team member has a significant creative influence, allowing us to achieve exceptional gameplay quality relative to our team size, budget, and development schedule. I’m proud of our accomplishments and how this process ultimately enhances the player experience.”

Gameplay Dynamics

Cloudheim distinguishes itself with its engaging combat system where chaos reigns. Players can strategically collaborate to manipulate the environment—transforming the world into a playground of possibilities. Examples of this include pulling down pillars to crush foes, lassoing enemies into tornadoes, or even launching monsters from cannons. The game is designed for high-energy interactions among players.

Cooperative Play Options

Gamers can embark on adventures alone or join forces with up to three friends in online co-op mode. This collaborative feature allows players to share weapons and abilities, enhancing the teamwork aspect as they explore, uncover secrets, and unlock new characters together.

A New Combat Foundation

“Our core gameplay began with a simple question—what if we take the juggling from fighting games and make it the combat foundation in a co-op action RPG?” David Hunt elaborated.“Mix in a hauntingly beautiful world, a chaotic symphony of physics combos, and base customization—that’s Cloudheim.”

Companions in Adventure

As players battle formidable foes like monstrous creatures and goblins, they also have opportunities to ally with fantastic beings such as Swordcupines, Blins, and Gnashers, providing assistance in challenging encounters.
