5th Planet Games and Skybound Entertainment announced this week the release of
new digital editions for Wales Interactive's popular horror shooter game Sker
Ritual.
Originally released in 2024 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Sker
Ritual is the spiritual successor to the acclaimed survival horror game Maid of
Sker. Developed by independent, award-winning studio Wales Interactive, the game
is now published by 5th Planet Games in partnership with Skybound Entertainment.
A new gameplay trailer https://youtu.be/DW6Sqg2SX9E with details on the new
editions debuted earlier this week at UK Interactive Entertainment's (UKIE) For
One Night Only industry event, providing additional visibility for the title
among stakeholders.
The new Sker Ritual: Nightmare Edition features the base game along with four
previously released digital content packs, while the Sker Ritual: Inferno
Edition includes the base game along with the complete collection of all digital
content packs released to date, a total of 15 packs with unique cosmetics and
items allowing players to fully customize their experience. By bundling existing
content into clear, high-value offerings, these new editions are intended to
lower the barrier to entry for new players while further monetizing the game's
existing content library.
In Sker Ritual, players battle waves of supernatural enemies, alone or in up to
four-player co-op, while progressing through objectives, unlocking powers and
upgrading weapons. Sker Ritual currently holds a "Very Positive" rating across
thousands of Steam reviews and has maintained a dedicated player base since its
initial release, when it quickly rose to the top of digital storefront charts.
In early 2026, Wales Interactive announced that the game had passed the 2
million-player mark worldwide.
