HOTEL BARCELONA – Late Check-Out DLC Launches May 21

White Owls Inc. today announced that HOTEL BARCELONA – Late Check-Out DLC will launch on May 21, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, expanding the 2.5D action horror roguelite with new story stages, bosses, enemies, and narrative content.

White Owls Inc. also confirmed that HOTEL BARCELONA is coming soon to Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 as a complete package, including the base game, the major Under New Management update, the Late Check-Out DLC, and all gameplay updates released to date.

Originally released for Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in September 2025, HOTEL BARCELONA is a collaborative horror project from Hidetaka “SWERY” Suehiro and Goichi “SUDA51” Suda, blending slasher cinema, surreal dream logic, roguelite progression, and stylish action combat into an unconventional horror experience.

In March 2026, the game was substantially reworked and relaunched through the major Under New Management update, which refined core gameplay systems, balance, progression, and presentation while further realizing the creators’ original vision for the title. Since the relaunch, player response has improved significantly, with recent Steam reviews trending strongly positive.

The Nightmare Continues

HOTEL BARCELONA – Late Check-Out DLC is not a side story.

It is a continuation of the descent.

The DLC pushes players beyond the hotel walls into two entirely new environments designed to escalate tension, unpredictability, and survival pressure.

Players will explore:

  • Dusk Valley Golf Resort — an exposed hunting ground where open visibility offers no safety
  • The Former Grandall Estate — a suffocating mansion filled with claustrophobic encounters and relentless danger
  • The expansion also introduces:
  • 2 new boss encounters
  • 17 new enemy types
  • Additional story content and cutscenes
  • Expanded combat and environmental mechanics designed to challenge experienced players

Built as an escalation layer on top of the Under New Management update, Late Check-Out intensifies the core identity of HOTEL BARCELONA: violent, strange, stylish, and mechanically unconventional.

Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 Versions Confirmed

White Owls Inc. also confirmed that HOTEL BARCELONA will soon arrive on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.

The Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 versions will be published by Eden Industries and developed by White Owls Inc. and Eden Industries.

These versions will launch as a complete package including:

  • The full base game
  • The major Under New Management update
  • The Late Check-Out DLC
  • All gameplay updates and improvements released to date

The Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 versions will support:

  • 1–3 players
  • Up to 4 players during invasion play
  • Online multiplayer
  • Co-op gameplay
  • PvP invasion mode
