Today, publisher Secret Mode, established in 2021 as a subsidiary of Sumo Group, announced a new action RPG called Empyreal. It's being developed by Silent Games, a new studio based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England.
The game will be released next year on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X. You can find the announcement trailer and more information about the game (grabbed from the Steam store page) below.
Empyreal is a complex, challenging, feature-rich action RPG.
In a far-flung corner of the galaxy an Expedition arrives on a hitherto unexplored planet to find a colossal Monolith built by a lost civilisation. These are no mere ruins: the Monolith is filled with danger, and the Expedition is ill-equipped to unearth the secrets within. All eyes turn towards an elite mercenary who may succeed where all others have failed.
Venture inside the Monolith and face the automatons that yet remain, remnants of the impossibly ancient civilization that built this unknowable structure. Survive and uncover revelations that transform our understanding of humanity itself.
