October 3, in the year of our Lord
2023 – Paradox Interactive and Harebrained Schemes
today released The Lamplighters League and the Tower at the End
of the World, the globetrotting tactical turn-based strategy
game, for PC and Xbox Series X|S. Players can purchase the base
game for a suggested retail price of $49.99 / £41.99 / €49.99,
or purchase the Deluxe Edition, which includes an exclusive
recruitable Agent, on Steam, Epic, Xbox, and the Microsoft

Harebrained Schemes, creators of the Shadowrun trilogy and
BATTLETECH, bring The Lamplighters League to life as an original
pulp adventure set in an alternate 1930s. Players build their
Agent rosters from a rag-tag team of misfits, ranging from
bank-robbing gunfighters to mind-controlling assassins, to
thwart the plans of world domination by the Banished Court.
Players take on high-stakes Missions, committing up to four
Agents to unlock rewards and progress the story. Between
Missions, Agents can go on Expeditions to gain Intel, locate new
allies, and secure leads on campaign-critical heists, affecting
how players strategize around each scenario they face.
The Banished Court comes prepared with more resources,
personnel, and weapons than the player’s group of criminals and
outcasts. The difficulty level dynamically adapts in response to
players' actions, adding more foes and increasing combatant
health to challenge daring Agents. The Lamplighters League’s
captivating soundtrack, Composed by the award-winning Jon
Everist, amplifies the retro atmosphere, reacts to gameplay, and
enhances the thrill of each mission. Those with the best
strategy earn high-value rewards, expanding their strategic
options and ultimately changing their Agent’s fate.
“The Lamplighters League is a special game for Harebrained
Schemes,” said Chris Rogers, Game Director at Harebrained
Schemes. “Thanks to the talents of a great team, we’re bringing
an original game world to life. Adventuring in our alternate
1930s feels comfortable, accessible, and fresh, and we’ve done
our best to use the lessons we learned creating the Shadowrun
trilogy and BATTLETECH to bring you a fun, engaging, and
rewarding tactical experience. Each of the scoundrels in The
Lamplighters League has a unique approach to combat, and players
will get hours and hours of fun replaying the game using them in
different combinations.”
