Godfall launch trailer reveals it’s PS5 console exclusive for 6 months
Game can be released for other consoles beginning in May 2021
Gearbox has released the launch trailer for Godfall, which reveals that the game will be a PlayStation 5 console exclusive for six months.
Developed by Counterplay Games, the fantasy “looter-slasher” became the first officially announced PS5 game when it was unveiled at The Game Awards 2019.
It will be released for PS5 and PC via the Epic Games Store on November 12 and can be released for other console platforms from May 12, 2021.
Counterplay’s website previously stated it was in development for “next-gen consoles”, suggesting an Xbox Series X/S release is also on the cards.
The Godfall development team is comprised of around 75 people with experience working on the Ratchet & Clank series, God of War, Destiny 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, Diablo III, Gears 5, Star Wars Battlefront, Titanfall 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Evolve, Halo 5, Battlefield 3, BioShock Infinite, Call of Duty, Injustice 2 and Overwatch.
Counterplay Games CEO Keith Lee previously told the PlayStation Blog that Godfall will include a strong focus on co-operative gameplay and support 1-3 players.
“Our goal with Godfall is to reforge fantasy ARPG-style loot progression and third-person melee combat into a whole new genre: The Looter-Slasher,” he said.
“Namely, our game is uniquely one-part gear driven and one-part player-skill driven. Godfall retains the desire for offense-oriented, mastery-driven combat, rewarding you with head-turning, powerful loot that then inspires your next set of character builds.”
Godfall will require an internet connection to play despite being playable solo.
