Soulslike action RPG Flintlock: The Siege Dawn officially announced a new release window at yesterday's PC Gaming Show event. The game, originally scheduled to launch in 2022, was then moved to 2023 and then 2024. It'll now be released next Summer on PC (on Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X.
Flintlock: The Siege Dawn is developed by New Zealand studio A44 Games, known mainly for the indie game Ashen, and published by Kepler Interactive. According to A44 CEO Derek Bradley, the open world game takes inspiration from Soulslike titles for combat and from Spider-Man for traversal.
Speaking to the Xbox Wire blog (the game will be available for Game Pass subscribers on day one), Creative Director Simon Dasan said:
We’re doubling down on amazing visual fidelity to bring the world of Flintlock to life and ensure a satisfying, visceral combat experience.
With combat being at the core of Flintlock, we have been hard at work refining the feel, skills, and various builds that will be at your disposal. Nor is a versatile and deadly Sapper, equally as adept with an axe as she is with flintlock weapons. Seamlessly weave axe and pistol shots as you go up against hordes of undead coming from the Great Below.
Tap into the magic of the Gods with Enki and become the ultimate God Killer. Utilise Enki Curses to amplify your damage and unleash satisfyingly brutal glory kills. You’ll also gain access to Witherings, powerful ultimate attacks that can change the tide of combat. Deal massive damage, heal yourself from the brink of death, and even gain access to other Gods' attacks. Witherings can be found throughout the land and will allow you to customize your playstyle even further.
The store pages also include a glimpse into the system requirements of Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, although the listed recommended GPU is likely just an error (it's the same as the minimum one).
