The Archdemon

The Archdemon is the central antagonist of EVILBANE. Its rise is the event that shatters the world and sets the campaign in motion, and the warriors the player controls are sworn to vengeance against the forces it commands. The early reveal leaned on the idea that the seed of the Demon King awoke, casting the Archdemon's return as the inciting moment of the whole story. For the wider premise, see Story and Setting.

Name Variants

The antagonist is called the Archdemon on the store page. Across localizations and translations the same entity has also been rendered under several other names. These all refer to one figure, not separate characters.

Role in the Game

Within the dark fantasy world, the Archdemon's rise is what brings down the kingdom and pushes the surviving warriors into the fight to reclaim it. The cooperative Missions include boss battles against demonic foes, and the antagonist sits at the top of that threat as the figure the campaign is built around. The mature tone of those encounters matches the rest of the game, which features blood and dismemberment in combat.

Not Yet Shown in Detail

Despite being the named antagonist, the Archdemon has not been shown in detail. There is no confirmed on-screen appearance, no announced boss fight against the Archdemon specifically, and no revealed backstory or motivation beyond the broad framing that its rise broke the world. Treat any further claims about who or what the Archdemon is as unconfirmed until the developer reveals them. This page will be updated when more is officially shown.
