KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Sept. 8, 2026 | How well do you really know your battle buddy? 1+1 Studios puts that question to the test with Duo Quest, its co-op-only roguelite deck-builder arriving Sept. 16 on Steam. The game launches at $11.99, 20% off its regular $14.99 price, with the launch discount available for one month and regional pricing applied worldwide. 

In Duo Quest, real-world relationships are part of the combat. Two players battle monsters while answering questions about each other, with matching answers launching powerful attacks. The better players know one another, the better equipped they are to grasp victory. 

With over 1,000 questions across 20-plus themes in 10 languages, Duo Quest is designed to test friends, couples and family members while they build decks, unlock new cards and classes, collect artifacts and navigate procedurally generated levels, with both local and online play.

Review keys are now available to press and content creators ahead of launch.

One day after release, Duo Quest will make its debut at Tokyo Game Show 2026, where attendees can play the full game and meet the developers at the Rising Tide Publishing booth at C17, Hall 8 from Sept. 17-21. Players who show proof of purchase at the event will also be able to pick up discounted Duo Quest merchandise.

The upcoming launch follows solid pre-release attention for the Malaysia-based indie studio. Duo Quest won the Wave Rider Award at Gamescom Asia 2025 and was named a Best Multiplayer finalist at Gamescom LATAM 2026. It was also an official selection for the SEASian Games Showcase 2026.

The free Duo Quest demo with recently added online co-op is available on Steam now ahead of the game's September 16th release.
