Overview

  • Bandai Namco confirmed a Character Creator Demo for January 23, with created avatars carrying over to the full release.
  • The full game is slated for late January on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with outlets variously listing January 29 or January 30.
  • Hands-on reports outline a combat loop where standard attacks feed Drain moves to build Ichor, which powers Formae abilities.
  • The partner system lets NPC allies fight alongside you or be assimilated for buffs, and partners can auto-revive the player on a cooldown as traditional co-op summoning is omitted.
  • Previewers cite broader weapon options including rifles and a quicker pace than FromSoftware titles, as the standalone story acts as a soft reboot built around choices spanning past and present.
