The story so far
What we know about SacriFire
SacriFire is a pixel-art RPG developed and published by Pixelated Milk, inspired by 1990s role-playing games. It follows Ezekiel Ridan, a young priest whose faith is tested as a war between gods and demons threatens the world he loves. The story moves between two settings: the subterranean city of Antioch and the spirit paradise of Erebus, mixing fantasy and science fiction.
Combat blends real-time and turn-based play, with attack chains, multiple weapons and the option to target individual enemy body parts. The look combines pixel art and 3D environments with hand-drawn animated characters, and the soundtrack features Motoi Sakuraba. Weapon crafting and puzzle-solving are also listed.
The release date is not announced. SacriFire was first planned for 2022, slipped to 2023, and in April 2025 got a Q1 2026 PC window. In February 2026 the studio said it would miss that window, and that a revised date would follow by the end of May 2026. The Steam page still lists only 2026.
