A promising PS5 dark fantasy action RPG finally has a release date after suffering a delay. Developed by South Korean studio Project Cloud Games and published by Perp Games, The Relic: First Guardian will release on July 31, 2026.
PS5 RPG The Relic: First Guardian was announced in 2021
The Relic: First Guardian was announced in 2021 as a multiplayer action game titled Project Relic. However, the game’s direction changed during development, which presumably led to a delay in its release.
The Relic: First Guardian is now billed as a “soulslike” RPG, but frankly, the gameplay suggests it’s more of an action RPG than a soulslike.
“The once-prosperous Arsiltus was swallowed up by the void created by the destruction of the great relic and transformed into a land of death. Now your mission is to find the pieces of the broken great relic and close the void,” an official overview reads. “Grow your character with various skills, solve the riddle of Arsiltus, and lead the world back to prosperity. You are the last hope of the Arsiltus.”
The Relic: First Guardian is a semi-open-world game that offers players the freedom to explore. We can choose from five different types of weapons, each offering its own playstyle.
PS5 players can wishlist the game on the PS Store.
