Stray Blade is the Dark-Souls esque Action RPG coming next year to PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
The new upcoming Action RPG Adventure was announced at yesterdays Xbox Gamescom Stream and is described as a Souls-Like game with “Ironman” Combat style.
You can check out the game at the official Website. The official overview of the game states:
“Stray Blade is an action RPG where you play a rogue Adventurer exploring the ancient Valley of Acrea with your companion, the Xhinnon wolf Boji. Unveil the history of the forgotten valley and master the powers of the three Acrean Metals to restore balance to this war-torn land.”
The game is being developed by Point Blank Games and published by 505 Games which is known for publishing such titles as Defense Grid 2, Deep Black, Dead by Daylight, Control and Sniper Elite III among many others.
Throughout the game you will be wandering through the overgrown wilderness of “Acrea” which is on top of the ruins of a mysterious and ancient civilization with your mask-wearing “wolf” companion which is as cute as a gremlin, whose name is Boji.
The game will feature intense combat which “”merges strategic anticipation of enemy attacks with split-second blade-to-blade reactions, “this will accompany boss-fights against the mighty god-kings who rule this land.
The Stray Blade website describes the gameplay as : “an ironman melee combat game about a rising mercenary company in a land ravaged by civil war.”
The developers have stated that they put their “hearts into creating fluid well readable animations and epic cinematic finishes”. Players get to choose from multiple weapon categories that can be combined to fit their individual playstyle.
The world itself ranges from overgrown city ruins to frozen caves and winding canyons which will provide an immersive world for adventure lovers .
Every victory you get will impact the surrounding world and when you die for example the time will keep moving forward. Both the adventurer and Boji have their own skill trees. The Adventurer is a fighter who receives experience through fighting, whereas Boji is a crafter who gains experience by discovering ancient artifacts.
We don’t have a definite release date for Stray Blade yet, but lovers of strategic combat and adventure games will be in for a treat when it arrives, and this will be one to watch out for next year.
