Perp Games and Korean studio Project Cloud Games have locked in a release window for The Relic: First Guardian. The dark fantasy action RPG will land on PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC via Steam in early 2026.
This one isn’t just another Soulslike. It’s built on Korean folktales and legends, shaping both the world and the battles you’ll face. The game’s setting, the continent of Arsiltus, weaves myth and story into every corner. Even combat ties into the narrative.

The hook? Seventy “Brutals.” These aren’t just bosses. Each has a personal tale of sorrow. Beating them isn’t only about survival. It means inheriting their story, and unlocking powerful items and upgrades.
Combat is stamina-driven and brutal. Every dodge, block, and strike matters. You’ll need to master weapons, magic, and skills that suit your playstyle.
Progression is tied to exploration. Hidden fragments across vast environments open up new skills, armour, and weapons. Miss them, and you miss growth.
The Relic: First Guardian wants to blend folklore, brutal boss fights, and exploration into one package. Early 2026 can’t come soon enough.
