Pathea Games (My Time series) drops reveal trailer for The God Slayer
Pathea Games, who is best known for the life-sim series My Time, will dive into the world of steampunk fantasy with its new title.
Revealed today, open-world RPG The God Slayer is currently in development for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store). A reveal trailer featuring seven minutes of gameplay can be seen here.
A synopsis for The God Slayer reads:
Long ago, the god‑like Celestials created the human world and all living things in it, designing everything to cultivate a powerful force known as ‘Qi’ to fuel their eternal lives. In this new age, humanity has learned to channel that same qi energy into elemental powers, wielding fire, water, earth, metal and wood through flowing, martial‑artistry. Outraged that their divine energy is being used by mere mortals, the Celestials make a brutal example of humanity by conquering the strongest kingdom in the land in a single night — hunting down and killing the king and the kingdom's Elemancers. An event remembered as the God Fall.
In this 40-hour story-driven campaign, players assume the role of one of these gifted Elemancers, Cheng, as he seeks to galvanise a resistance against the merciless Celestials. Imbued with a sense of power and anger at the loss of his own family during the God Fall, Cheng embarks on a journey to change his world, avenge the fallen, and slay the gods that have wronged him.
Zifei Wu, founder and creative director at Pathea said this about making a huge shift with their forthcoming title:
“Thematically The God Slayer is a big departure from what Pathea is known for, namely the My Time series. However we’ve made multiple open-world RPGs before, filled with beloved characters and varied systems for players to experiment with and flourish. The God Slayer has all that and more with our talented development team attempting something darker and more serious in tone, bolstered by thrilling elemental combat at its core.”
The God Slayer can be wishlisted on Steam right now here. Epic Games Store wishlists can be made here.
