The Cryptmaster Announces Anniversary Update
PRESS RELEASE – May 30, 2025 – With the Cryptmaster growing ever more powerful, he has lovingly decided to bless the peasants above with a new Anniversary Update, releasing today on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, for his critically acclaimed dungeon crawler – Cryptmaster.
Forcing his minions, Paul Hart and Lee Williams to toil through day and night, the Cryptmaster’s peons have updated graphics, added in new NPCs and enemies like the Highway Man and Innkeeper, and even created two never-before-seen locations: The Tavern & The Graveyard both with a fully VO’d Spanish cast.
In these new areas, players won’t just encounter familiar faces, they’ll be burdened with the heavy task of “Whatever,” now with over 100+ brand spankin’ new cards.
