The Relic: First Guardian Sets Early 2026 Launch With Extended Gameplay Trailer

An extended trailer details boss-focused, stamina-managed combat rooted in Korean folklore.

Overview

  • Project Cloud Games and publisher Perp Games confirmed an early 2026 release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
  • Official materials describe more than 70 named bosses called Brutals, each tied to a personal tale that feeds progression.
  • Combat features weapons, magic, and skills with defense and dodging governed by a stamina system, as shown in the latest footage.
  • Exploration-driven progression rewards fragments that unlock additional skills, armor, and weapons, with victories granting special items and upgrades.
  • Recent trailer coverage from PC Gamer cited over 80 bosses and no stamina, a portrayal that conflicts with the publisher’s stated 70-plus Brutals and stamina-managed play.
