Deathbound, the new group-based soulslike, arrives in August

Tate Multimedia y Trialforge Studio are pleased to announce that Deathbound, a soulslike, single-player party RPG, is launching for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on August 8. Form alliances with fallen warriors using the innovative 4-hero party system and unite to defeat terrifying creatures and enemies.

Deathbound is a party RPG set in a hostile world where faith collides with science. You cannot survive alone; instead, you must reject death and embrace Ziêminal by joining the fallen warriors you encounter on your journey. With a dynamic 4-hero party system, you’ll be able to seamlessly transform between characters in the midst of combat to ensure your survival. Success depends on working together with your comrades, each with their own skills, combat techniques, and history.

The dynamic between these characters significantly impacts gameplay, leading to different outcomes and status effects depending on your actions. For example, lining up characters from the Church of Death and the Cult of Life (two opposing factions within the ship) will cause conflict and result in consequential combat effects. On the other hand, pairing Fallen Warriors with similar beliefs can yield powerful combat buffs, perfect for defeating relentless enemies along the way.

Deathbound Key Features:

The Essence– Gain the skills, memories, and identities of fallen warriors around the world. Combine their unique personalities and combat styles and seamlessly switch between them.
Group system: The essences you absorb form your party. Deathbound features a robust party system that allows you to create a playstyle through talent trees. Switch between fallen warriors to take advantage of their skills and abilities. Each party member’s affiliation in life will affect their synergy in death.

Brutal World – Ziêminal is a world that blends a technological past and a medieval present, home to diverse cultures. The city of Akratya is rich in tradition and danger.
