Summary
July 31 is the release date for The Relic: First Guardian on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, with Xbox Series and Switch 2 versions due later this summer.
Perp Games and Project Cloud Games position it as a dark-fantasy Soulslike action RPG set in the ruined world of Arsiltus, where players must recover broken relic pieces and close a world-devouring void.
Five weapon types anchor the combat system, while character growth skips traditional levels in favor of runes, items and crafting.
The game also mixes semi-open-world exploration with dungeon runs, boss fights and puzzle-solving as players rebuild the world.
