Pathea Games dropped a trailer for The God Slayer, an open-world steampunk action RPG set in Zhou, a fictional Ming-inspired Asian city. Business Development Director Aaron Deng said the team has been working on it for about a year and a half. The story follows Cheng, whose family gets wiped out when powerful beings called Celestials destroy the strongest kingdom in one night after humans start using Qi energy for themselves instead of just harvesting it for the gods.
The campaign is around 40 hours long, with seven chapters that each end in a boss fight. Players can tackle missions however they want, like bribing guards, setting up bombs as diversions, or poisoning enemies before the actual fight. Combat mixes Chinese martial arts with elemental powers like water, earth, metal, and fire that interact with each other and the environment.
The game runs on Unreal Engine 5 and will hit PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S and X, probably around late 2027, based on what Deng told them.
