Smash hit horror multiplayer game arrives on mobile and PC
Shanghai, China — May 27, 2026 | Giant Games is thrilled to announce that Tomb Busters, its co-op horror looter hit, launches outside of Asia for the first time on iOS and Android today
Tomb Busters finally launches in the west today following huge success in China, with over 200 million downloads, 10 million daily active users, and 140 billion social media views.
Watch the Tomb Busters Launch Trailer below:
In Tomb Busters, players take on the role of a tomb raider working for The Supernatural Company, delving into tombs filled with deadly traps and a bestiary of ancient horrors rooted in Chinese folklore. These critters and creatures of the night are kitted out with abilities that maximise the horror, comedy, and multiplayer chaos of Tomb Busters, such as:
- The Red Panda, super cute but highly aggressive cirtters. Left to cry, it will eventually mutate to a considerably less cute and cuddly form.
- The shapeshifting Alternate, which copies the appearance of another player, even down to cosmetics, to lure a team member into a deadly embrace.
- The Jiangshi, which hides in cabinets and then hop around chasing isolated players. They are extremely fast and their attacks will poison players, causing them to also hop like a Jiangshi for 10 seconds.
Players can take on a tomb alone, or team up in a four-player squad, choosing from a selection of characters each with their own unique role and abilities. Going deeper into a tomb will result in more dangers to face, and dying means losing everything. Random weather events such as dense fog, solar eclipses, and blood moons can mix things up as well, keeping players on their toes.
Tomb Busters was built from the ground up specifically to create a gameplay environment that’s scary by yourself, but delivers natural emergent comedy when played with friends. Giant Games is developing Tomb Busters as a high quality long-running global live service title, and has already begun rolling out player events, creator activities, and a creator program, to help encourage more players to download the game and join the community.
“When you’re exploring a dark ancient tomb alone — strange sounds, sudden monsters, deadly traps around every corner — it’s a genuinely intense horror experience,” said Producer Zhu at Giant Games.
“But when your squad is with you, each player brings a different role and ability, and that cooperation turns fear into fun. Someone gets greedy, triggers a trap, unleashes a swarm of monsters on the whole team, and suddenly everyone’s screaming over each other on voice chat — that’s where the magic happens.”
Tomb Busters is available now on PC, iOS, and Android. More information about the game can be found on the official website.
