Last year, a new Soulslike was released on Steam, developed by a small team. Now, the release on the PS5 is coming.
What game is this about? Bleak Faith Forsaken is an action role-playing game that could also be classified as a Soulslike. At first glance, the game stands proud alongside well-known and larger titles. The interesting part is, however, that it was developed by a very small team of only 3 people.
It was already released in March 2023 on Steam and received a total of 71% mostly positive ratings there. Now, a PS5 release is set for August 6, 2024.
After last year’s release, the developers had to deal with accusations of having copied from Elden Ring. However, in an official statement, they assured that this was not done intentionally and that they would modify the affected animations.
In Bleak Faith Forsaken, you explore an open world set in a dark, post-apocalyptic environment. You fight through the ruins of various civilizations, which seem to reference different eras.
You can choose between different classes and then customize your character according to your play style.
Players hope for improvements with the console release
What is the status of the game now? Next month, Bleak Faith Forsaken is also scheduled to release on the PS5. Over the past year, the developers have likely worked hard on their RPG to improve various aspects.
Players hope that the console version runs smoother in many respects and that the developers have also refined the gameplay.
The trailer certainly looks very promising with its dark setting, and as a Soulslike fan, it might be worth taking a closer look.
