Combine Magic and Dark Technology in Strategy RPG ‘Dark Envoy’
Polish game developers Event Horizon (no relation to you-know-what, but still cool) have announced ahead of Gamescom their newest game that combines the likes of the Divinity series, X-COM, FTL, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age in Dark Envoy. Dark Envoy is a non-linear RPG that offers open-world exploration, with “an emphasis on tactical turn-based combat layered with lore and strategy”.
The sci-fi story involves the Human Empire fighting for dominance against the remnants of the Old Races. Amidst this clash of technology and magic, Kaela and Kiros aspire to repair their parents’ broken airship in order to travel the world, seeking whatever dungeons, challenges, and riches may come their way.
The title focuses on player choices that affect the world around you, 15 unique character classes, as well as solo and two player co-op. On top of that, Dark Envoy features a mode called Player vs World, where Player 2 acts as the final boss seeking to destroy Player 1 before they become too powerful.
Dark Envoy is coming to PC via Steam, PS4, and Xbox One late 2020, but you can check out a hands-on demo at Gamescom if you’re so lucky to attend.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
