Jumalien is an upcoming mythological-themed multiplayer game, developed by Kevin Pedatte and set to release on Steam on March 31, 2025. The game, inspired by classic local multiplayer games, allows up to four players to compete in intense and strategic matches.

In Jumalien, players embody a deity and can choose between two game modes: Exploration and Draft. Exploration mode takes place in a procedurally generated world where players have 5 minutes to prepare for the final battle, searching for legendary equipment, fighting mythological golems, and hunting other players to collect items. Draft mode features intense clashes where players choose equipment between rounds, requiring strategic thinking and quick decision-making.

Jumalien features four mythologies and four deities: Ah Puch, the Mayan god of the dead; Ra, the Egyptian god of the sun and creator of the universe; Freyja, the Norse goddess of love, war, and gold; and Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt.

The game offers simple mechanics for easy accessibility and advanced mechanics for skilled players. With procedural generation of the environment and random events, each game is unique. Jumalien features over 150 objects from different mythologies, offering a multitude of possible synergies, and an arena mode for direct confrontations.

Jumalien's development began as a single-player Rogue-Lite with a mythology theme, but evolved into a multiplayer game with two modes: Exploration and Draft. The game has been in production for seven years, with Emmanuel Dodet creating the illustrations and interfaces, and Noé Hourant producing all the audio.
