World of Horror’s Free As Below So Above Update Is on PC; Consoles Follow in 2027

World of Horror’s As Below So Above update is available on Windows and macOS, free to owners of the game on Steam, GOG and itch.io. Console versions are due in 2027. Released on October 30, 2026, the major 1.2 update adds a story-focused Scenario Mode alongside new characters, threats and modding options.

That platform distinction matters before you buy or reinstall the game: the PC update’s arrival does not mean the same content is already available on consoles.

Is As Below So Above free?

The official Steam announcement identifies it as a free update for existing owners on all three PC storefronts. The base game is still a paid purchase. This is not a separate free-to-play release.

The developer’s itch.io page lists separate Windows and macOS downloads, with later 1.2-series hotfix builds already appearing. Treat “1.2” as the major content release rather than a promise that every storefront’s latest file has precisely that version number.

What does Scenario Mode add?

Scenario Mode offers self-contained stories that take place before the main game. Set in the fictional town of Shiokawa, the announced Forest of Fear / Tapes of Tragedy scenario follows Makoto, a school audiovisual-club member making a documentary about a forest legend. It connects that earlier story to the game’s existing found-footage mystery.

What else changes in the update?

Developer panstasz and publisher Ysbryd Games describe the update as expanding the game’s content by 20%. That is their estimate, not an independent measurement of playtime.

The additions include three playable characters, among them tarot reader Kiriko and mountain explorer Satoshi. New Old God manifestations include Ikt-Yosis, the First Nightmare, and The War for Shiokawa, which involves four competing cults. Events, enemies, equipment, spells and other encounters also expand.

Steam Workshop support gains more ways to make custom enemies, events and mysteries, including interface and flag options. The release also includes balance adjustments and bug fixes; it is more than a cosmetic seasonal change.

When do consoles get As Below So Above?

The launch announcement gives 2027 for consoles without a specific day. It does not announce simultaneous console delivery or an exact release time. PC availability should not be used as confirmation that a console copy has received the update.

For newcomers, World of Horror’s store description presents a single-player cosmic-horror RPG with turn-based combat, randomized investigations and stark pixel art inspired by Junji Ito and H. P. Lovecraft. The developers also flag disturbing depictions of bodily injury. This is a release guide, rather than a hands-on assessment of the new stories.
