The debut action RPG from developer Silent Games, Empyreal, finally has a release date, and it’s May 8th for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.
What’s better than a release date announcement, though? Well, the price. It’s going to be hitting on May 8th for £24.99/$29.99/€29.99. It’s also Secret Mode’s first game as an independent publisher since it was sold from Sumo Group, so it’s an exciting one all round.
To get folks properly in the mood, a seven minute long video explaining what Empyreal is, narrated by Joseph Rogers (Co-Founder & Creative Director of Silent Games) has been released. The team adds: “Empyreal is a complex game, with three distinct weapon types that drastically change combat, branching storylines with multiple endings, and a level-altering loot item called “cartograms” which switch things up every time you enter the imposing monolith at the heart of the game.”
Here’s the key features list from Steam:
- Stand against formidable foes; your only hope of victory lies in mastering a unique and complex combat system.
- A memorable cast of characters, with personal questlines and multiple endings for each one.
- A beautiful but shattered ancient world. Explore breathtaking environments filled with hidden details.
- Customise your character with a vast array of equipment and collect armour sets that confer powerful bonuses.
- Upgrade and modify the loot you find.
- Unlock new abilities to personalise your playstyle.
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 civilisation that built this unknowable structure. Survive and uncover revelations that transform our understanding of humanity itself.
Empyreal is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X on May 8th.
