Well, I didn’t see this one coming. Pathea Games, the studio behind cozy life sim games My Time at Portia and My Time at Sandrock has revealed its next game – a steampunk fantasy action RPG called The God Slayer, and it looks rad as hell.
Inspired by the Assassin’s Creed series and Avatar: The Last Airbender, The God Slayer is set in an Eastern-inspired steampunk metropolis where gods called Celestials rule the world. You play as Cheng, an Elemancer, which are humans that have learned to harness “Qi” into elemental powers, allowing you to wield fire, water, earth, metal, and wood in combination with martial arts. Celestials want to eradicate Elemancers, and the result is must-see gameplay, which you can check out in a rather lengthy announcement trailer below.
The God Slayer has been incubated as part of PlayStation’s China Hero Project, which means it is coming to PlayStation 5, in addition to Xbox and PC, although no release date was announced. I’ll be keeping a close eye on this one from here on out.
