Paris,
France - August 19, 2022 – Red Art Games is happy to
announce the upcoming release of Heidelberg 1693 on Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox
Series X|S, PS4, and Xbox One. Set in the Sturmfront - The Mutant War universe,
Heidelberg 1693 is a gory 2D Action game developed by Andrade Games and ported
to consoles by Red Art Games.
Red Art Games will bring Heidelberg 1693’s twisted version of late 17th century Germany to consoles worldwide on November 18. On Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and Xbox One, Heidelberg 1693 will cost $14.99 digitally.
Physical PEGI-rated PS5 and PS4 versions will be priced at €24.99 while physical Nintendo Switch versions will be priced at €29.99, all available from November 18. The boxed copies will be limited to 2.900, 999, and 999 copies respectively. The physical versions of Heidelberg 1693 are now up for preorder on the Red Art Games official online store.
In order to allow PS5 players to get the complete Sturmfront universe experience, Red Art Games will also release the brand new PS5 version of Sturmfront - The Mutant War: Übel Edition on November 18. Featuring new DualSense trigger effects, this new-gen edition will also get a limited physical release. 999 physical PS5 copies of Sturmfront - The Mutant War: Übel Edition can now be preordered on the Red Art Games official online store for €19.99.
Heidelberg 1693 is a challenging 2D Action platformer set in a zombie-infested version of 17th century Germany in which the player takes control of one of French King Louis XIV’s famous musketeers. The game adds a layer of tactical combat to the genre by introducing the weapon of choice of musketeers: the musket. Players will be able to fire one powerful - and very effective- musket shot at a time. The weapon must be used wisely because of its long reset time though. Heidelberg 1693 tells its somber story - featuring real locations and historical figures - across multiple paths and endings. On PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, Heidelberg 1693’s framerate will run at 120 fps (on compatible screens). On PS5, the game will also make use of the DualSense controller’s features.
Members of the press, bloggers, and content creators will have the opportunity to play an early version of Heidelberg 1693 during Gamescom 2022 at Red Art Games’ booth located in the Business Area (Hall 3.2, Booth B-052).

About Heidelberg 1693
The year is 1693. War engulfs Europe as France, led by the illustrious King Louis XIV, battles the Grand Alliance. Also known as the Sun King for his luxurious tastes and extravagant appearances, Louis XIV is driven by the belief that the sun - his sun - should shine upon all peoples of the world. While his enemies are way too many to be counted, one stands out as the most dangerous of all.
That enemy is none other than his own bastard son. Poisoned and left for dead, he emerges from the smoke and ashes of Germany’s battlefields and makes himself known as the “Moon King”. With nothing but hatred in his heart, he turns to diabolical and forbidden sciences in order to build an army the likes of which the world has not seen since the days of Satan’s rebellion.
Now the dead rise from their mass graves, seeking vengeance upon the King that asked for their heads while he basked in glory. Can you - the Sun King’s bravest musketeer - stop the approaching and never-ending royal eclipse?
