British studio Silent Games has released an overview gameplay trailer of the ambitious action-RPG Empyreal.

Here's What We Know

First of all, let's note the main thing: the developer revealed the release date of Empyreal - it will take place on 8 May 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

In the new video the developers focused attention on the extensive possibilities of the character editor, in which players will be able not only to customise the appearance of the hero, but also to choose his backstory, which will affect the plot.

Silent Games emphasised that Empyreal is a deep and variable game where player actions are crucial, so for example, some optional quests may end in failure and characters risk death.

The developers have also implemented a complex combat system with a large selection of weapons and hero abilities.

Flashback

Here's how the developers describe the plot twist:

In a remote corner of the galaxy on a previously uncharted planet, an expedition arrives to find a huge Monolith built by a lost civilisation. These are no ordinary ruins - the Monolith is full of dangers, and the expedition is not ready to unlock its secrets.

All eyes are on an elite mercenary who can succeed where all others have failed. Go inside the Monolith and face the Automatons still lurking there - the remnants of an unimaginably ancient civilisation that built this impenetrable structure. Fight for your life and experience an epiphany that will change our understanding of what it means to be human.
