Overview

  • The free-to-play action RPG launches worldwide on October 28 for PC via a dedicated launcher and Epic Games Store, plus iOS and Android.
  • All characters and weapons will be free to unlock through gameplay fragments, with star ratings, banners, and stamina limits removed.
  • Producer Deca Bear says data from recent tests showed persistent dissatisfaction, prompting a shift away from fast monetization in favor of long-term retention.
  • Cosmetics, animations, and accessories are set to be the primary monetization, avoiding pay-to-win mechanics.
  • Features highlighted include fast 3D combat with melee–ranged weapon swapping, advanced traversal, a dual-protagonist storyline, and a Demon Wedge system designed to cut grind by offering reusable upgrades.
