Details revealed for Azrael: Herald of Death

Developer Vengeance Games' upcoming visual novel, Azrael: Herald of Death is set to be released sometime in the first quarter of 2026.

Azrael: Herald of Death will be a visual novel with turn based combat and city builder elements. The main character and game’s namesake, Azrael, is a member of an ancient race which breathed life into the galaxy. For centuries, he has put on the persona of an unassuming servant to the largest, bloodiest empire humanity has ever known, but now it’s time for him to put his plan to usurp into action.

Players’ choices will have an impact on Azrael and the path he forges. Players will also be tasked with creating and empowering a team to aid in Azrael’s machinations, creating a planet and fostering a civilization, and taking on quests.

The team building the project includes Konstantin Sakhnov, who’s taking the reigns as team lead, as well as coding, voice acting the main character, and writing for the game’s story. Sakhnov has a plethora of experience in managing browser-based game development. Also working on the project are “...a team of artists, 15 voice actors, a composer, an animator, and a QA specialist.” The group is a mix of first time developers and seasoned developers with “...dozens of high of high-profile titles” under their belts.
