Across the continent of Arsiltus lie countless dormant dungeons.
They are places where sealed Brutals still writhe, and where the secrets of a forgotten age remain. Explore the dungeons, and confront the forgotten tales.

A Brutal is not just a monster. Each carries its own tragedy and story,
and those tales will draw you, the adventurer, into the depths of darkness.

 
camera is too close and there is something wrong with the colors imho, but if it's fun to play i can surely try something like this. I'll keep an eye on it.
 
What is this? Post-process simulator?
My source told me the protag has early onset cataract so it is actually very realistic

I like the dragon's dogma type combat animations, hope they manage to make fighting interesting.

"The village was set ablaze by looters, the people are gone, all that's left is the tragedy…."

People screaming constantly in the environment and non-stop NPC's running aimlessly through the burning village directly in the path of the player.

I liked what they show of the gameplay, the vo for the demonstration does them a disservice imo.
 


Get a fresh look at The Relic: First Guardian in this latest trailer for the upcoming dark fantasy action RPG. The new trailer for The Relic: First Guardian gives a peek at gameplay and dives into the tale of a terrifying foe, as the trailer notes this is "A cruel reimagining of the Korean folk tale: The Heavenly Maiden and the Woodcutter." In The Relic: First Guardian, find fragments of the broken great relic in a vast semi-open world and close the void. Embark on an adventure through Arsiltus as a guardian, piece together stories, and complete epic boss fights and dungeons in a bid to restore the world.

The Relic: First Guardian will be available on PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox, and Steam on May 26, 2026.
