Lost in Random Sequel Announced

Lost in Random was one of the EA Original releases that I wasn’t expecting to like. Meshing elements of deck-builders, resource management, and chance somehow fit into a whimsical story and world. Now, it seems that Thunderful Publishing has let loose an announcement for a sequel to the cult classic (ish?) adventure action game.

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die was announced last week. It is set to be released sometime in 2025 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. Interestingly enough, you’ll be playing the villain of the previous game, the Queen of Random. Here is what the press release says about Lost in Random: The Eternal Die:

“Ready to take a chance on something new? Today, Thunderful revealed that Lost in Random: The Eternal Die, the sequel to the beloved action-adventure game, Lost in Random, will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch[,] and PC via Steam next year.

As a Rogue-lite action game, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die introduces the next chapter in the eerie and twisted Lost in Random universe, with players adventuring as The Queen of Random through new riveting and beautifully crafted realms, immersive isometric combat and colorful creatures around every corner.

In Lost in Random: The Eternal Die, Aleksandra, formerly known as The Queen, and her companion, Fortune have been captured inside the Eternal Die where a wicked Storyteller is plotting their final chapter. Players will fight their way through a randomly generated gauntlet where they’ll take on monstrous pawns and giant board games, to claim treasure which improves your chances. They must use their wits and trusty die companion to escape this living labyrinth, where evil reigns and Random Rules.”

Game Director Martin Storm commented on this announcement, stating: “Over the years, we’ve seen how Lost in Random has resonated with players worldwide, from its captivating story to its creative combat within a world of wonder and excitement.

We’ve been thinking about how to build upon this world and we decided to create an action-packed, random-infused Rogue-lite, upping the stakes and the speed to create a whole new gameplay experience. We can’t wait for players to see what we have in store in Lost in Random: The Eternal Die, and to take their chances yet again.”

I like that Thunderful is taking the time to expand on an IP that was a little bit of a gamble, pun intended. I look forward to re-entering the Burton-esque world of Lost in Random, hopefully with an even more expansive story. I’m sure we’ll learn more about Lost in Random: The Eternal Die either at the Game Awards or as we get closer to its launch date.
