Take a Deep Dive Into Gameplay with the New Trailer for ‘The Relic: First Guardian’ [Watch]
On the heels of The Relic: First Guardian getting its revised release date a few weeks back, Project Cloud Games and Perp Games have released a new (nearly) 13-minute gameplay deep dive video for the upcoming dark fantasy Soulslike. Along with noting that players will encounter stories inspired by traditional Korean folktales and legends, the trailer showcases some of the dungeon-crawling segments they’ll be encountering on their quest.
The Relic: First Guardian takes place on the fictitious continent of Arsiltus. You are the First Guardian, charged with embarking on a heroic adventure to save the world. The once-prosperous Arsiltus was swallowed up by the void created by the destruction of the great relic and transformed into the land of death. Now your mission is to find the pieces of the broken great relic and close the void.
Featuring more than 70 bosses known as “Brutals”, each one carries a personal tale of sorrow and tragedy of how they came to be the formidable foe that plagues the lands. It’s your task to overcome each Brutal by using a combination of unique weapons, magic, and skills that can be tailored to each playstyle or enemy interaction. As expected from its inspiration, every defence and dodge consumes stamina, requiring you to plan your attacks as well as your counters.
Players that come out victorious will inherit each unique tragic story of their enemy’s demise, along with special items, enhancements, and upgrades to progress through the story. These will aid in every subsequent fight as you explore vast environments and collect fragments to unlock more skills and weapons.
Look for The Relic: First Guardian on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam on July 31, while versions for the Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2 are expected later this year.
