  • Developer: One More Level
  • Release date: October 13, 2026
  • Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC
  • Campaign length: 12 to 20 hours

Alternate History Setting

The game takes place in an alternate 19th-century history. Napoleon Bonaparte conquers Europe using a mysterious substance known as Nephtoglobin.

Gameplay Mechanics

Players control William Dowsett, a reanimated soldier. The gameplay combines Soulslike combat with gun-blade action. Players also navigate platforming challenges and Metroidvania exploration elements.

This unique premise grounds the dark narrative in a distorted version of the 1800s, where historical conquest collides with supernatural intervention. The integration of gun-blade action alongside traditional melee encounters ensures that combat encounters demand both precision and tactical weapon management. Furthermore, the inclusion of Metroidvania-style mapping encourages thorough investigation of the environment, rewarding persistent explorers who venture off the primary path.
