We start the week with new announcements of new games. In fact, in all honesty, the game we are talking about today is not really new, since It was already released on PC via Steam. We are talking about Ancientwhich will release its version for the Xbox console in a few days. So, the new product from developer Hyperstrange arrives in a few days: it will be the next November 8 when we can play it Xbox Series X/S.
As you can see in the video that we leave you above, Elder is a fantasy action slasher with brutal hand-to-hand combat in first-person perspective. Its character progression system will be very similar to that of Souls and RPGs. At the level of historywe are set in a legendary time, where the barbarian tribes need a new dark messiah. We will be a ruthless assassin who will discover ancient secrets in the city of perdition and forge his own destiny.
In development for five years, this ambitious indie game combines an old-school single-player feel, a classic heroic story and a modern level of skill-based challenge. All this and more creates an action-packed adventure full of history and excitement that will last between eight and ten hours in a single game. In fact, the game accumulates 88% positive reviews out of the more than 1,800 it accumulates in the Valve store.
