Overview
- Lyrical Games and One More Level announced the single-player title for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC with a 2026 release window.
- A closed playtest is planned in the weeks after Gamescom, and players can register on the game’s official website.
- Players control William, a resurrected Grande Armée soldier in an alternate Europe where the Nephtoglobin substance empowers him and turns former allies into grotesque abominations.
- The design features parry- and dodge-focused melee in first person, limited-use firearms with dual-wield options, supernatural Transmutations, and Metroidvania-style exploration with lantern checkpoints and a stats tree.
- Early impressions praise the concept and core combat, noting pre-alpha rough edges as One More Level adapts its first-person melee pedigree from Ghostrunner to a methodical Soulslike.
