Don’t Nod has released a demo for upcoming action RPG The Lonesome Guild, and also put out a brand new gameplay trailer.
In the demo, Don’t Nod says you’ll be able to experience “the beginning of Ghost’s journey as he recruits the first two of six available friends: Davinci and Mr. Fox. Each friend has their own story, motives, and abilities.” The team adds: “Players can switch between them to face the enemies on the way, unravel ancient puzzles, and encounter the game’s first boss.”
The game is described briefly as follows: “As a creeping mist spreads, corrupting all in its path, you must gather a ragtag party of six misfits, each with unique abilities, stories, and struggles. Seamlessly switch between them in battle and exploration, forging bonds that unlock powerful combos and heartfelt moments by the campfire. Enjoy dynamic combat, puzzle-solving, and a world brimming with secrets.”
Check out the new gameplay trailer, below:
The Lonesome Guild is a single-player top-down action-RPG all about togetherness. Embark on a heroic adventure as Ghost, a spirit who wakes to find they hold no memories. The world has become shrouded by loneliness and the mist just keeps spreading, corrupting everyone in its path. Now it’s up to you to get the band back together… even if they’re meeting for the first time.
The ragtag group of unlikely friends you’ll recruit each will bring their own story, quirks, motives, and abilities. Switch seamlessly between the 6 of them during exploration and combat to navigate Etere, solve puzzles, and defeat enemies!
Relationships are the heart and soul of The Lonesome Guild – it’s a party, literally. As your friendship grows, so does your power with new abilities and combos. A party can only be strong if each member is strong too – unravel your new friends’ stories to help them find peace. Unlock side quests, new abilities, and heartfelt chats by the campfire. Together, we’re unstoppable.
The Lonesome Guild is coming to PC, Xbox Series S|X, and PlayStation 5 in “Fall 2025”.
