The Lamplighters League Launching Today With DLSS 2
Sneak, steal, and shoot your way through a world of pulp adventure in The Lamplighters League. Globetrot across a variety of exciting locales around the world and outwit your enemies in strategic turn-based combat - and, if you play your cards right, you might just save the world.
Harebrained Schemes, the creators of The Shadowrun Trilogy and BATTLETECH, bring you an all-new world set in an alternate 1930s, where a tyrannical cult called the Banished Court stands on the cusp of world domination. For millennia, all that stood between this sinister cabal and their plans were a band of heroic scholars known as the Lamplighters League. Recruit a team of misfits and scoundrels with unique abilities and unforgettable personalities, and chase the Banished Court to the ends of the earth in a mix of real-time infiltration, turn-based tactical combat, and a character-driven story of adventure and intrigue.
Launching today, October 3rd, The Lamplighters League boasts out of the box support for DLSS 2, giving GeForce RTX gamers the definitive day 1 experience.

Squad up with friends in Lodestar, an online co-op adventure game where you solve puzzles, gather resources, and mine asteroids in your very own space odyssey. Traverse and conquer hostile planets to find your way home. Can you survive long enough, or will you suffer the fate of the previous crew?
